Destiny has 4 subforums dedicated to it. #Gaming is dedicated to discussing games other than Destiny. Your thread is currently giving your thoughts (and other people's thoughts on) Destiny. The proper place for such a thread would be #Feedback. Please edit your thread's tags so that it's in the #Feedback subforum instead of #Gaming.

  • [quote][b]“The description says 'discuss ANY game,' why am I being yelled at when talking about Destiny?”:[/b] #Gaming’s intended purpose is for the discussion of non-Destiny games and the game industry. If you’re looking to find people to fend off the Darkness with, you’ll want to look at and begin posting in [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Topics/0/1/0/Recruitment]#Recruitment[/url]. Looking to discuss Destiny? You’ll want to post in [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Topics/0/1/0/Destiny]#Destiny[/url]. If you have suggestions concerning the game, try [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Topics/0/Default/None/Feedback]#Feedback[/url]. My interpretation, and I believe many older users will agree, is Bungie made the description so due to new users yelling and driving people off who weren’t discussing Destiny and trying to use #Gaming appropriately when it was released. [spoiler]Recon Number 54 (Ninja/Moderator) [quote]#Recruiting is getting TONS of action and the people who post there are getting what they are looking for... and getting it FAST. The misposters may be interested in knowing that.[/quote][/spoiler][spoiler]Shacker (Ninja/Moderator): [quote]Use the new LFG #recruitment forum put in place by the web team. In addition, purposely bumping stale LFG in #gaming is disruptive. To be clear, I consider disruptive behavior to be disrespectful, which is a bnet Code of Conduct violation. Process that how you will.[/quote][/spoiler][spoiler]Prometheus25 (Ninja/Moderator): [quote]There are numerous Destiny forums. Destiny threads belong there.[/quote][/spoiler][spoiler]Deej (Community Manager): [quote]When I first came to Bungie, posting to this forum about other games was forbidden! It was important to me that gamers had the freedom to express themselves sincerely. I play lots of games. I love Bungie games, but more than one disc spins in my tray. This board was always intended for those conversations. Sorry that the release of Destiny threw this corner of the forum into disarray. I am thrilled that people are using our site to make friends and play games, but there should be a specific place for that. Yesterday, we built that place. Please link people to there is they come here to look for allies.[/quote][/spoiler][spoiler]Cozmo (Community Manager): [quote] Do you like to play other games besides Destiny? This is the place to discuss any other titles you enjoy…We won’t judge. We play a lot of other games, too.[/quote][/spoiler][/quote] If you wish to then argue that Bungie never said you can't post Destiny in #Gaming, I can show the bit of this PSA that covers that.

    Questions. Are you the official forum police? Does it bother you that much? Are you raging? Why? You do know that you didn't have to read this post. You're under no obligation to. The original OP's post was innocent. What's the big deal? Is this causing you harm? Does the derp da derp your herpa da derp?

  • You're being a pain just to be a pain. It has nothing to do with causing harm or not. There's nothing wrong with a little forum topic organization. Go to your library. Sections, categories, organization... a system. There are different sub-forum so folks can find what they're looking and post topics where appropriate. If there wasn't organization, it would be chaos. Halo topics in #Destiny, LFG posts in #Feedback.

    The truth now. I'm going to write this without being rude. So, do you see anywhere that says "Read this before posting"? Is there a requirement to read "Welcome to the Game Forum"? Is there a redirect that forces you to read forum rules? The subforum says "Talk about any game". Can you really fault the guy for posting in this forum. Really? Just try to be reasonable here. Is it worth giving him a hard time about it? This is a BUNGIE site. Destiny is a BUNGIE game. Destiny is a GAME. Destiny is an awesome game imo. Yeah sure he should have posted in the Destiny forum for a better response but so what. I'm the "pain". I'm the "troll"? I'm "insane". Actually, I am insane for even spending time on this. Was he malicious in his post. Was I malicious for trying to deflect criticism. I think it's trolling to spend a 1/5 second of your life responding to the OP with "#Destiny". Who cares? Just skip the post and move on or if you have admin rights just move the post to the correct forum. Wow!

  • Not faulting the op. Rhynerd/Halloween Name McFancy Pants was merely redirecting. He wasn't being a cop or a jerk. Just educating. You chose to engage and challenge him. I think you need to reevaluate what you consider to be a "hard time." You make good points. There should be a mechanism in place that directs folks to posting etiquette and PSAs like Cozmo's. Reddit does and it seems to work for the most part. Just to give you some historical context, when Destiny first launched there was a LOT of misposting, including super spammy LFG posts that flooded #Gaming. The "skip the post and move on" approach was impossible a year ago. Now, it's certainly an option, but it's better to educate so the newer member knows where to post the next time. That's really all the Rynerd/Spooky Halloween Boy Ryntom was doing.

  • Really though, I should've just skipped it and moved on. Why I felt like getting righteous.. No stinking clue. Stressful day at the hospital(work) is what I'll lay the blame on. Apologies, have a good weekend. Hope Xur brought ya what you wanted. :)

  • Hey, man. No worries at all. Some of us have just been around a loooong time and still prefer a little healthy separation of Destiny and non-Destiny discussion. Praxic Fire 2.0?? Oh, yeah.

    [quote][b]“Why do you guys think you can tell us where to post?”:[/b] We have been asked by both moderators and Bungie employees to help clean up the forums and educate people on how to use them properly. [spoiler]Stosh (Bungie Employee): [quote] I've missed you seventh column! Also use #recruitment for looking for game/group/raid threads please. You can find it on the forums main page. Please downvote topics that are mis-tagged. I've been moving as many as I can.[/quote][/spoiler] [spoiler]Stosh (Bungie Employee): [quote]Yea down voting recruitment threads in gaming will also help. It will take a while to clean up. Don't be mean and let people know where recruitment now lives.[/quote][/spoiler] [/quote]And the reason I'm miffed is because right then and there you were beginning a case of double-sided insanity without even knowing it. Way too many times have I asked nicely for somebody to move their thread, only to get that Exact. Same. Response. Way too many times I've given a simpler version of the PSA response only for them to ether give me the response you just made, or to just say that Bungie didn't say they couldn't, to which I told you why Bungie doesn't, for them to respond that they'll only move it if it ends up being against the rules. From there I have to PM a moderator to deal with this, and from there the user may or may not being arguing with the [i]-blam!-ing moderator[/i] that they're wrong, and the moderator's response is the last (but not because the user would be banned there, you'd have to be really adamant, argumentative, and/or hostile to get banned there).

  • You're doing a great job! Notch this up as a job well done. Thank you for clearing it up for me. I hope people recognize the hard work your putting in on clearing up the forums. If I had the opportunity to fill out a survey I would give you a gold star on every line. Have a great day and a great weekend. Take care hero :)

    I get it. I keep my Destiny posts in Destiny forums. It just blows me away how the forum police come when someone doesn't. Who really gives a sh*t? I just picture a bunch of PC Principals raging at their smart phones at the Sodo Sopa
