Is the Bungie [url=https://www.bungie.net/en-us/View/bungie/conduct]Code of Conduct[/url], and by extension, its rule set, what you would consider [i]adequte[/i] by internet forum standards?
For a reference to past rules, and how they affected the online landscape of this site, here's an example from the pre-Destiny website:
The Flood Forum ([url=http://halo.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=55734448]Circa 2011[/url])
Do keep in mind that the forum layout has changed, and the userbase has exploded, since the times of those rules. However, do you think what we have in place now is sufficient? Do we need stricter guidelines? Do we need more lenient rules? What's your input?

It's clear the rules require a massive over haul. The lack of incentive for original content is staggering. These rules have promoted a hostile environment that lacks culture. As much as I love emoticons I would love to see ASCII art against the rules once more. Without any restrictions on it we plagued with walls of ASCII spam. Along with that [i]any[/i] statement that implies a "kill yourself". Which includes speak towards another to slit wrists, drink bleach, et cetera. The fact that that's not immediately bannable [i]especially[/i] with how young and impressionable the current user base is, is sickening. I report any instance of that and have seen no results. Deplorable behaviour and in my raw opinion should never be allowed on any forum who would believe themselves respectable.
