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] Shanaynay Why do people keep playing the blame game? I have yet to see a thread or even a post with a sick joke about 9/11. If they're are any, mods are taking care of them on the spot. Maybe this thread did entice a few premature ones, but it's pretty obvious that they would appear on the anniversary of the tragedy itself. That's why I made this thread in the first place. It's not like I made a thread saying, "Make sure you mods ban people on this day, the anniversary of 'Porch Day'" where I would obviously be bringing more awareness to the trolls rather than the mods. No, you and I both expect the same type of posts about 9/11 tomorrow as we saw in 2011.[/quote]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][b]Posted by:[/b] Shanaynay You're comparing the posting of the last words of a criminal who most likely killed people to an event where insane extremists conducted an act that killed thousands of innocents? I'm sorry, but there simply is no comparison, whether or not your moral beliefs stand for it. You began your response by defending people who post things like "Nyan Eleven", "Prince of Bel-Air 'dancing' on the towers", and other such sick jokes about the disaster (I really didn't want to post examples, but it seems that I have to to get my point across), yet you condemn me for making a thread telling people to find the last words of a criminal and post them in the thread. Make up your mind. If you're so right, I guess we would be seeing holocaust jokes posted on every message board on the internet with rules. It comes to my understanding that such content isn't very common on boards rather than 4chan. It's not your or anyone's place to deem certain things socially acceptable anywhere with a higher authority. It's the administrator's, the people running the website. It seems pretty obvious to me that they don't accept it. Yes, people may get away with posting such content, but does a bear -blam!- in the woods? You tell me...[/quote]You're the one flip flopping your position here. What are you claiming? Don't speak ill of the dead unless they broke some laws? 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.
