Bungie is censoring what happened with primeguard?

Someone posted a Screenshot of this "popular" destiny clan well known by bungie that shows what I think was a mod telling him to commit suicide using their official twitter account. I'm just wondering why it was removed since it says "violated code of conduct".

  • Just for reference, I have no idea what Primeguard is. I never even heard of them before this thread. Bungie would never tell us to protect or censor posts to protect a group. Nor would any of us be trying to protect anyone who told someone else to kill themselves. That is a huge no no and we ban on sight for that. I don't know what the post is you're referring to, but it is possible that whoever made it did violate the CoC in other way aside from just promoting the image. If he was attacking them or being rude, then his post probably got removed for that reason. Again, I can't see anything after it has been removed, but I know we would remove something without it being a violation to the CoC.

      I'm going to attempt to answer your question with what little information I have gathered. First, I would like to present the information I have gathered. Correct me if I am wrong: A moderator for the group/clan "Primeguard" told a person to commit suicide on Twitter. The post regarding this occurrence contained a screenshot of the attack. This post was then taken down because it violated the Code of Conduct. You are wondering why Bungie would do this, and you think they are covering it up to help Primeguard. Now I will attempt to answer your question: The post was removed because it violated the Code of Conduct. The act of telling someone to commit suicide is a "personal attack", and is a violation of the Code of Conduct, especially since it involved a Bungie-based service. Even if it was only a screenshot, it's still a violation. It would be no different if someone posted a picture promoting racism, rather than simply gratuitously using racial slurs. Bungie is not "censoring" to "protect" Primeguard. First of all, Bungie is in no way affiliated with Primeguard. Primeguard is a purely community-created group. The Primeguard moderators have no connection with Bungie. Also, it was a Bungie moderator's decision to remove the post, not Bungie's. A Bungie moderator's duty is to moderate the forums based on the Code of Conduct, and they do so as volunteers, which means they aren't paid. Because of this, even they have little connection with Bungie. Bungie could care less about Primeguard. If Primeguard dies out, another clan will take its place.

      • All posts that get moderated are removed. It is not special to this circumstance.

        • personally i hadn't heard of them until news about the insult thing happened, also can't say i care, joining clans especially those who are at a world level, i can only imagine it being a harsh and intolerable place, I#m here for fun and of course some competitive action (i played 10,000 games on halo 2 over the course of more than 3 years) i look forward to joining people on the ps4 and hope i never have to play against prime guard pre made groups ;)

          • If they were really censoring it, wouldn't they also censor this post?

            • Seems like it, 'cause I haven't heard anything about it. Then again, I'm a dreadfully incurious person.

            • Don't care. Primeguard is pathetic. They denied my request to join because apparently "I don't play competitively". You can understand from that single quote that all of them are obviously easily offended.

            • Notice how nobody here knows what the fu[i]c[/i]k you're talking about. That's because, ahem, [u]WE DON'T GIVE A FU[i]C[/i]K.[/u] Take your Destiny clan troubles somewhere else. Nobody cares. People break the CoC every day. Big fu[i]c[/i]king deal. [spoiler]By the way, it's not censoring because, from what I gather, that guy broke the CoC. If you break the CoC, your post gets removed. Plain and simple.[/spoiler]

                  LOL the mods aren't douchebags... Well, not like that anyway. I don't believe it for a second. Besides, clans are petty and not really worthy enough for a "scandal" or a "cover-up". Edit: Holy fu[i]c[/i]king shit! A fu[i]c[/i]king prime guard mod! I thought you meant a Bungie mod! Who gives a shit? Clans are retarded anyway.

                  • Link to post or is it gone? Also I'm confused so did someone get insulted on twitter by a mod? Or something else?

                    • I don't really believe it. Sure, someone might have said that, but it wasn't a mod. The image was removed because it really did violate the code of conduct, hell, I've been given warnings for posting things from PMs I've gotten. Play nice. You have no rights.
