[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] spartain ken 15 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Grimaldus [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] spartain ken 15 I wouldn't try and bring up semantics on here. People are always rude to others they don't like and will make sure the OP of the thread and everyone is aware of it. If the mods really banned all the people from the tongue and cheek stupidity people pull. 75% of the septagon would be banned. (Though some people need it). It is easy to say be kind but the fact is some people here are real jerks and will never learn. [/quote]Because banning solves everything right? [/quote] No I would prefer if people didn't get banned but I also want to make sure people who are out of line are dealt with. When people act like jerks to others, it lowers the quality of the forums for everyone. When you ban or warn someone, you are teaching them that the behavior is not acceptable. It is just like if a little kid keeps taking cookies out of a cookie jar after you told him to stop. If you make him go to "time out" for a bit, they learn that their actions do have consequences. Ignoring it or not really enforcing it tells the little kid that the authority figures are "push overs" and they feel they can continue to do what they want not fearing any consequences. This leads to more issues down the road and it makes the user turn into a bitter, rude person. But, sadly, there are some people who may not have any place on Bungie.net because they simply just want to be a jerk and break rules. After a certain period of time you just have to say enough is enough. [/quote]There are a lot of people here who don't come to better their people skills and there are a heck of a lot of people who don't learn from their bans. The way I see it, having a feature that lets me collapse posts of jerks without needing to report them is a valuable asset. Leave's moderators free to deal with more severe misconduct.
