Can the mods please not let this happen again? (Concluded)
[quote][url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=74742264]My thanks to the moderators[/url]. With that said, this thread can be locked. It's purpose has been fulfilled.[/quote]
...and by "this" I mean all the horrible 9/11 threads that were made on the Flood last year.
Threads with hundreds posts of nothing but sick humored-jokes and images about 9/11 were thriving on 9/11/2011. The mods did lock a few threads, but threads that stood as a "main" discussion hub stayed alive, and the horrible posters were never punished for what they did. The mods basically did nothing. It got to the point where flamewars were being started over the issue of, get this... being able to make fun of it.
I know some of the mods will say that they did, in fact, ban people that day, but I know for a fact that the sick-humored posts within the threads were never taken care of.
For discussion value, what's your opinion on this issue? Not 9/11, but the issue of posters making fun of such a tragedy on the Bungie.net forums.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MURDUR 587 You're the one flip flopping your position here. I simply claimed that your thread was in equally bad taste, if not even worse, given that at the very least people aren't mocking the last words the innocents dead at 9/11 said to their loved ones. No, they're just adding a silly undertone to the event, not mocking those who lost their lives. I suppose they're not really compare-able, your thread was far worse.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MURDUR 587 I suppose they're not really compare-able, your thread was far worse.[/quote]No, it wasn't. My thread's main standpoint was based on users looking for humorous last-words from executed prisoners who committed horrible acts to land themselves in such a position anyway. Of course you will continue to disagree because you have bonded yourself to some social foundation society has created. "Oh, it's okay to make fun of mass amounts of innocent people dying, as long as it 'wasn't so soon'... wait, you're making fun of dead criminals and their last words?! How dare you!" [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MURDUR 587 And they would have been handled the same way they were handled last year and the same way they're being handled right now, all you've done is put the idea in more people's heads.[/quote]No, it's not. It's pretty clear, considering I and many other members are seeing the moderators take immediate action against threads that do express such behavior, that my thread made a difference. Moderation of the content was handled poorly last year. Again, this thread was to bring awareness to the inevitable that would occur. How in the hell have I inspired trolls to create 9/11 joke threads? If anything, it should discourage them to since the moderators were made extra aware of what types of posts they would most likely see on 9/11/2012. If they have, where's your proof? I don't see any surplus of offensive 9/11 content anywhere? Yet, what I do see is moderators acting quickly against threads that do post such content. Stop twisting facts. You're trying to put ME down because you're upset that you can't make anymore offensive jokes in the Flood this year about 9/11. It's over, the content isn't welcome, and the moderators are prepared to strike down. Deal with it.
