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. [Edited on 09.12.2012 1:28 PM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MURDUR 587 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Grimaldus I believe it is wrong to joke about any loss of human life....you want to make a joke about a bunch of lizards go for it...it doesn't relate/hurt anyone.I have never ever ever cracked a single remark at the death of a human being. In fact, I don't think I've ever cracked -blam!- about death at all. [/quote]Is it really more wrong to joke about the loss of one human life than it is to joke about the loss of thousands of species? I'm not saying that the people spamming these threads just to troll shouldn't be banned or that said jokes are acceptable no matter what the context, but I don't think there's something inherently wrong with simply joking about a tragedy, did shakespeare not write a few tragic comedies in his time?[/quote]Indeed he did...but time changes and so do people...
