Dead and gone
[spoiler][b]Update 8/25[/b]: Bungie has censored and banned, LostSols, BoomerSooner51, and Acehunter25 for alleged CoC violations. The only cursing was in the form of "dipshit", the other "bannable" offenses were the use of the phrase "butsniffing fanboy" and calling a player out for being in the lower half of crucible ratings. These users other crimes were thought out complaints and criticisms against Bungie. Clearly Bungie has been bringing the ban hammer down hard against [i]whistler blowers[/i], while allowing truly bad mouth trolls continue without consequence.
[b][i][u]But that's not even the worst. [/u][/i][/b]CaseyOakdale posted a link and instructions on how to contact Activision and the BBB for a refund of the game. After amassing nearly 300 comments (last I saw) his post was removed.
This is completely inexcusable. Do not let Bungie act ignorant to these issues any longer. This thread is already 600 comments strong. Keep bumping! Force them to remove it, but do not let them ignore it!
Caseyoakdale's post: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/149277855/0/0[/spoiler]
Nothing to see here.
#FreeSols
[spoiler][b][i][u]Attention Edit[/u][/i][/b]: BoomerSooner51 was banned as well! For Supporting #FreeSols and apparently saying: buttsniffing fanboy
We now have 2 banned community members and [i]atleast[/i] 2 censored posts. Stop running this forum like its N. Korea. Haha
---------------------------------------------------
[b][i][u]Attention[/u][/i][/b]!! Bungie (or their "unpaid affiliates") has been censoring the #FreeSols posts! This thread hasn't been touched yet, but many of the ones with less comments (@caseyoakdale @cbrstar)and less visibility have already been Ninjad. Is this seriously what the forum has turned too?! Cmon! You're better than that!!
Unban the innocent party and let's just get this over with. YOU have turned this into a bigger deal than it needs to be. Well, hopefully once Monday hits the [i]real[/i] employees will see this and resolve a very unfortunate situation.
The forum [i]needs[/i] constructive criticism and positive feedback. Give us back the voice that provided that!
#FreeSols
PS if it makes any difference, I've already preordered TTK haha
---------------------------------------------------
[b][i][u]update[/u][/i][/b]: [u]This is not name shaming[/u]! I've been [i]talking[/i] with LostSols' "victim" all day, and he's admitted Sols didn't do anything ban worthy, and acknowledges Sols positive impact towards the community, and wants the ban lifted.

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/148677477/0/0/1
So [b]why[/b] was he banned in the first place? Conspiracies amuse me.
Keep the pressure on, #FreeSols
---------------------------------------------------
[b]Edit 3[/b]: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/148570589/0/0
posted that from my phone, hope it works
[b]Here's why he was banned, if you were curious[/b]
Edit 2: There was an imposter account out there named "LostSol[b][i][u]z[/u][/i][/b]"
That account made some false posts, and was reported and ninja'd. The real Sols is still MIA lol
Edit: Before this gets too outta hand - I'm gonna squash a theory that Bungie was trying to silence him. Some trolls were harassing him, things got personal and spiraled down from there. BUT did the Bungie dev team give a sigh of relief when Sols got banned? [i]Probably.[/i]
Talked to LostSols tonight. He got ninja banned after confronting some people that were harassing him.
I don't really know details, but I know a lot of people look forward to his posts and I'd like Bungie to reconsider his ban. Every disagreement I've had with him has always been cordial - and I've seen him in plenty of other discussions without it turning bad. I'm sure whatever happened was a one time thing.
It really is a shame to lose one more of the active forum members that made intelligent, thought-out posts.
[quote]You all are the best and I appreciate all the support you’ve continually showed me. I look forward to reading what you all have for Bungie while I’m away. The Hammer of Sols has been nerfed.

And you little ninja ass -blam!-s you deserve to commit suicide you shits.[/quote] [b]Pre-disclaimer: [/b][spoiler] In case the reader is unaware, the Ninja and the Mentors are not Bungie employees. We are not Bungie spokespersons, we do not speak on behalf of Bungie, we do not work for Bungie, we are fellow members of this site and people who, just like you, play and have our own opinions on the games that Bungie makes.[/spoiler] Here's my take, and [b]only post[/b] on this matter. See that above? It doesn't bother ME in the slightest. I see hundreds of "Bungie you are shit" and "Ninjas, you should kill yourselves" in the report queue nearly every day and I don't ban for those. IMO, Bungie are big boys and girls, and can take their fair share of Internet abuse and rudeness. Same for me and my fellow ninja. Call out either group, vent your spleen, throw shit and honestly? I'm fine with it. Now, on the other hand. If I see comments like that in the queue and they are from one member and are directed at another? Then the person throwing is getting a time out. I don't care who they are, and no one is a "special case". It's one thing to insult our hosts, or to give the middle finger at general authority here, that sort of crap comes with the territory. But the one thing that we ALL agreed on when EACH of us joined, was that we would not insult, abuse or attack each other. So, if I see it in the report queue, I am not looking to see who said it, I am looking at what they said. No one can MAKE you put something offensive or rule-violating to the right of your avatar. There is no "returning fire" on the forums. There is no "defending yourself when someone has insulted you". And the line of "I see it everywhere and it goes unaddressed, so I decided to do it too and expect no consequences either". All of those are false arguments, rationalization and an attempt to excuse poor interaction with your fellow community members. And there certainly isn't a "special class" that deserves or gets "special treatment". And as far as the comments regarding "others are free to call people fags, wish their mother would have aborted them and a lot more." (to quote Cooper), I will and ALWAYS act when I see those things. I see those things by chance as I scroll through the forums, and I make them disappear. But I don't and I CAN'T see them all. The #Destiny forum alone will have 10+ pages , 25 threads per page, each with posts less than 5 minutes old. There is no possible way for me, or any small group of individuals to read all of the content posted by the members of this site. Do you know who CAN? The members. If you've seen interactions that you know are unacceptable, people insulting others, using slurs, calling names, being abusive, hateful or downright assholes? Don't shake your head and let that shit go as "a sign that this site sucks". Click on the report button PLEASE! Because those reports make it to me and my colleagues. We evaluate the post, and if the report was accurate, we ban the offender. Because YOU took the time to point them out. And whoever is already doing that? Thank you. Really. I honestly and sincerely thank you. If I could buy you all a beverage, I would. Finally, as to the cause, length and other details of another members ban? That's between the banned member and the hosts of this site. Unbans are rare, infrequent, and most members simply wait out their ban and don't repeat the steps that lead to it. I don't know, don't need to know, and don't want to know the details of this latest Internet drama. I did want to share my perspective and set straight some of the mistakes and assumptions being made in this thread. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. That is something that is up to the people who took the time to read this. And those of you who did? Thanks for reading.

8 RepliesEdited by J Stevensontown: 8/24/2015 12:42:25 AMUmm, people say much worse, like Destinyisajoke (read his profile), theyonlyseemoney, and drtynstyleg... These 3 troll the forums, talk an incredible amount of shit to community members and bungie, and nothing happens. People make racist and sexist comments constantly, and don't get banned. Truth hurts, and they were overwhelmed, so they made an emotional decision

4 RepliesAs you report, Lost Sols got banned for getting tangled-up with a couple trolls fond of hate language. Even the best of us can be pushed too far by these cowards. [i]The Internet gives the coward a voice.[/i]

1 ReplyBump. But, he's not coming back too soon. Bungie is glad to be rid of him for a while.

I just found how Lost is enjoying his vacation time...Simply unbelievable! direct link http://i.imgur.com/6yIJZAI.jpg

Even DrtyNstyLeg doesn't know why Sols was banned.

If you call out Bungie on one of Deej's or cosmo's posts, they'll ninja your post and probably ban you. Seriously, give it a try. Currently awaiting ninja justice... hahahaha what a farce.

Edited by gallp13: 8/21/2015 7:32:35 AM[b]C'mon Deej[/b] We all know Sols is a special case...... as an aside I'm sure Cb's cheeky little picy would have garnered a smile so let's not get cross at Cb either :) We all know Sol's is a little long winded. (A LITTLE FFS ! I here a few grumble). Some love this style and some don't. He can't help it if insomnia can be addressed by creative prose. Notwithstanding, Sols is a great Destiny fan and gives himself writers cramp because he has passion and cares about the franchise deeply. Now just like a Community Manager, Sols is not everyone's cup of tea. In fact, some of the more "fruit loop" elements love to harass Sols with the old annoying hate mail. Sigh......tis the price of fame - is it not old horse ? Just kidding gallp knows your are really a man and a gunslinging one at that ! Unlike a seasoned Community Manager used to navigating the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (sorry bard) ..... Sol's has committed the reasonable sin of dropping an f-bomb or two on the fruit loops. Now technically speaking this is a CoC violation pure and simple but [b]Deej[/b], maaaaaate, even when Lukey boy gaffed we smacked his bottom and showed mercy. [b]Deej[/b] talk to the Ninjas....... I say bench Sols for a week max - justice is served and he can spend his sleepless nights creating a little Destiny art for his pending submission and preparing an Opus Primo for his return. Image the length of this spray kiddies my knees are trembling at the thought.... Old gallp says make it a week max - or else it's a [b]SAVE FERRIS[/b] campaign the likes of which God himself has never seen ;) EDIT : I reckon that many ill employed pop culture references must count for a little clemency. C'mon Deej old mate put in a good word in with the Ninjas.....Sols will behave .... Promise ;)

5 RepliesI don't understand a simple thing! What is more important, having a 'voice' / leader who has his own identity and talks very clearly, says the things the way they are, help support the Destiny community with insight or banning him and teaching him a lesson for a one time affair! Ninja justice seems like a motivated step that may have taken to silence LostSols! I sometime don't understand!! I am sure if you consider everything, including his history, you would unban him. Unless there is a conspiracy!

He broke CoC, that's it. Don't bring him back. So what if he was influential, that doesn't mean he should get special treatment.

1 ReplyWhy would they sigh of relief for banning him. Unlike most people he gives well thought out criticism of the game and offers reasonable ways to improve it. He was in no way a harm to bungie and destiny but actually helping and they viewed it that way too.

2 RepliesYawn...another fan-boy Destiny junkie with an online anonymity ego bubble. Whatever. Who cares.

1 ReplyDude I like Lost too .....:but you got to let this go......really is not that big of a deal.......go talk to your girlfriend or your parents....go see a movie or play with you dog.....go play destiny....just something else than this Lost thing, you know Bungie is not gonna reverse their ban, they never do. Let him do his time, he'll be back.....with a wall of text post I'm sure.
