There are, let's say, 3 million Destiny customers in the world, including casuals, people who have quit etc.
There are, let's say, 3,000 malcontents on this board who upvote anything negative about Destiny 2.
Given the nature of this board, responding to any thread with 1,000+ upvotes simply means spending all of your time dealing with 1/1000th or so of your customer base, because they are united and active in terms of complaining about everything.
For this board to be useful, it needs some serious moderation. I have posted this before, but why not list it again.
1 - Delete all usernames that are not associated with an XBL, PSN or PC equivalent account that has a verified Destiny purchase at some point since 2014.
2 - Only allow new accounts to sign up if they meet the same criteria. One account per such username.
3 - Allow exceptions in rare cases. A Bungie employee needs to manually sign off and give a reason. An example of a reason could be to shield a celebrity's identity or to protect someone from harassment.
4 - Close the OffTopic forum (because it is the mothership of a large portion of the complainers). You can bring it back in a year or two after its current population moves on to another board.
5 - Calling for a boycott on Bungie purchases = 1 day suspension. Second time = 1 week suspension. Third time = ban.
Do that and this board will still have a lot of complaining, but it'll be honest, normal complaining of the type any board would have.
At present, it's a mix of legitimate complaints, and trolls with a clear purpose since 2014 of causing Destiny to fail (so their little clubhouse on bungie.net wouldn't be overrun with new people).
Your role as a moderator enables you immediately ban this user from messaging (bypassing the report queue) if you select a punishment.
