"This thread is unavailable. It is awaiting Ninja Justice": Abuse of the report button and the hostility of #Destiny

That's what happened to a thread of mine at the Destiny forum entitled, "The Last Word needs a nerf". I can only assume that a good amount of users over there reported it and now it's in the Ninja's que for moderation. The original post itself is quite innocent; it really is a simple request for a weapon to be nerfed. There's no bad language, no offensive content, and it most certainly isn't spam. However, the responses I've gotten are some of the most vile and hateful things I've seen in my time on bungie.net. Here are some examples from the thread: [quote]Shove your damn PvP nerfs up your ass[/quote] [quote]Shutup pussy waaaa Waaaa cry babys[/quote] [quote]Yet another crying nerf thread stfu and man up you pole dancing chimp[/quote] [quote]No f\/ck you.[/quote] [quote]Fùcking fàggots always bitching Go away[/quote] And so on. #Destiny has big problem in terms of hostile users, and I see very little being done about it. I assume those same hostile users reported my thread, and now I'm at risk while they get away scot-free to continue spewing their vile words at people. And they keep doing it. It's not just my threads; I see these users do the same thing in other threads. How can there be a discussiom of topics on #Destiny if a mass amount of users abuse the report button on threads they simply disagree with? The report button is not a "disagree button"; if they really don't like what I or others have to say, then they can hide my posts or just mute me. But they shouldn't be reporting threads and responding to them in a vile manner. Anyone else think this is a problem?
