Bro - this shit belongs in #belair

The way I see it: "There are subforums specifically for destiny and you decide to post this in the one that says OffTopic?" [spoiler]The luckiest seven you will ever meet[/spoiler]

#destiny. These are the [b]bungie[/b] forums, #gaming and #offtopic are the only safe places from mindless sheep spewing drivel all over the place, so we get, understandably, annoyed when you illiterate sheep post in them anyway.

Cry me a river, build a bridge, and [b]get over it.[/b] You have a whole subforum dedicated to your game, so use it.

[quote]some unwritten posting protocol [/quote] It's not exactly unwritten. The sub-forums have pretty clear purposes. There are two (that is exactly 2) sub-forums, Offtopic and Gaming, that exist for subjects that are not Destiny. Gaming is for all games that aren't Destiny, Offtopic is "If it doesn't go anywhere else, it goes here." It's really not a complex system. Look, this is a community, right? I've been on here for like five years now, maybe six. I don't live here, I don't live on the forums, it's just a place I choose to plant myself online because of the people I've met playing Bungie games. It's social media in a less conventional sort of way. We like to keep things organized, and when newer users put things where they shouldn't and throw a wrench in the whole thing, it's useful to remind them that we have these different sub-categories for posting on different subjects. Those sub-categories are not a punishment, nobody is trying to put you in your place, it just makes [i]everyone's[/i] user experience here better. Consolidating Destiny posts into one category puts all of the people who want to talk Destiny in one place and filters out discussion that isn't relevant to their interests. Like minds together, that sort of thing. I would [i]LOVE[/i] to tell you that everyone on the Internet is going to be polite about everything, the way I try to be most of the time (I think), but that's just not how it is. If someone posts in the wrong place and another user is an asshole about directing them elsewhere, that's just how it goes. That guy you think is a troll doesn't know you, anything about you, what color your hair is or how tall you are, (s)he just saw you do something out of whack and hounded you for it. That's not something you should take personal offense to. If you plan on existing on the Internet then grow a thicker skin and make a proactive effort to fall in line to the fairly intuitive guidelines for what goes where, not for them but for [i]you[/i] and [i]your experience[/i] here on bnet in our community we may or may not have silly names for. Sorry if someone was mean to you on the Internet, but people like that don't care that you wrote this essay or why, they just get a rise out of being condescending or disparaging in instances where they can be seen as being in the right. And nobody polices this place, nobody thinks they're a "God" around here because that would be ridiculous. Posting "Use #Destiny for Destiny discussion, (asshole)" takes like five seconds. That's five seconds they could have been staring at memes or playing videogames, or reading a book, walking to their kitchen, ,. Not much happens in five seconds. In fact the collective time people may have spent "trolling around" misposts of yours or others might even be less than the time it took you to write this thread. We are all currently on an online gaming forum and let's not pretend there is any more or less shame in that between different users.

1st: use common sense. 2nd: I did. 3rd: because I can't think of a witty response when I do that anyway. I don't see why you're mad about this, just leave this sub-forum and never come back if it hurts you that much to be corrected.
