I think Bungie need to take some responsibility for this. This forum is not well moderated, they seem to promote this poor behaviour.

Stiv and the other moderators watch every post like a hawk and remove posts, entire topics, suspend, and ban people for thier language, the context of thier message, and behavior on a regular basis. That was the first forum I ever used and when I came here it was a HUGE culture shock. I couldn't believe the things people were getting away with writing.

I used to play Gears of War and Infinity Blade so I used the Epic forums a lot. They had a female community manager(who was a lot more active than any Bungie CM) and a female user moderator. They had no problem giving out console bans on the Xbox 360 to people who didn't know how to behave or cheated. Like you, I was surprised by the amount of bile when I came here. I understand that citizens of some countries have an undeniable right to free speech but the forum belongs to Bungie, they should police it more vigorously.

Edited by Sanctus Michael: 8/6/2015 11:41:54 AMI wish Bungie/Activision revised and issued stricter CoC policies and strictly inforced them with forum and server bans. As far as your freedom of speech comment. Freedom of speech doesn't excuse a person from being held responsible for thier words. Example: I can't be a manager, hire a new employee, then say, "welcome to the team, n*gger" and expect [i]not[/i] to be held legally liable or responsible by saying, "hey, freedom of speech, man." People are still liable for thier words and behavior. Freedom of speech gives a person the rope, but they can still hang themselves by it. Freedom of speech allows a person to actually f*ck themselves, not protect them Again, the aforementioned example. I go back to battlelog when I want to read a more civilized fourm. That fourm and the one you mentioned seem like the white city high society world and this fourm is like mad max. I feel dirty just being here
