As many of you know the current system can be abused and Bungie teams are working on a fix. But wouldn't it be better if the moderation was as strict before new site ? The lack of consequences and motivation to be a good member has cause this community to go downhill. And coming from me, thats saying alot. I was not the most rule abiding member but I don't like to see the forums full of console wars, spam, flaming, and general abuse. There was a time when the moderators kept this place nice and clean, and they still do at a certain point.

So far users have said they wanted a hybrid of both systems. I was never suggesting the removal of the current system but just more moderation than the current system that shows there are consequences for breaking the rules. Leaving forums as it was in the old days but with somewhat more slack to different topics.
As evidence by this [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Maybe-this-will-finally-prove-to-you-guys-that-the/en/Forum/Post?id=62746323#referred-OffTopic(Offtopic)]thread[/url]. Mute system can easily be manipulated and is currently undergoing a fix. It is these things that make this site worse, I understand that trolling can be funny but this is sad.

Yes, I want Achilles and impy to moderate again.
-
We will see once Destiny launches
-
Are we asking for Shishka back? I still feel the presure of his disapproval everytime I post.
-
I miss Disembodied Soul.
-
I say turn the Soul loose again.
-
Yes, along with a forum layout would be nice aswell. ~Brains

To all of the people who want Forum Ninjas to have more power: "The report/mute system is [b]in addition to the moderators still having powers to ban as before [/b](although they can't pick ban lengths anymore)." -Achronos

Several things should return from before the update, mixed with the new. Such a blend would make a fascinating change.
-
I for one welcome the return of our ninja overlords.

Edited by Haydo: 11/26/2013 6:56:52 PMI would be more okay with an abridged version of the old system, wherein you could still have a bit more leniency posting off topic content, say words like Marijuana and [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url], but not spam, maliciously degrade others, et cetera. Turns out you can't say N@zi. I like the humor the b.net admins used though. I'm okay with it.

the old system forced extremely clever troll threads which made these forums more enjoyable so yea im definitely for the old system to make a return

Edited by CAMMCAM: 11/26/2013 3:15:39 PMA more clear and concise moderation should be enforced but I don't think it should be the same as b.old. I think it's the rules, or lack there of, that people have a problem with. The abuse of some features, as well (which has been discussed). I don't think the actual moderation (Ninja's) should really be in question.
-
No, not the old system. The old system was flawed and moderators could be incredibly picky and ban people for ridiculous things- which did happen. What we need is a new system. A mix, so to speak. I would say this is fine, but ban certain threads and give the moderators the power to ban 'on faith.' Meaning if somebody is obviously doing harm to the community, they can be banned for it without having to justify it as long as people can look at it and go 'yeah that was an asshat'. A fine line between this and oppression, but... well, it requires faith in the moderators I suppose, but at least they're fewer than 'the entire community.'
-
No. I really don't. It was too strict back then.
-
[quote]but I don't like to see the forums full of console wars, spam, flaming, and general abuse.[/quote]If you use the Mute feature, you won't. You are now the ninja of your own experience.
-
No. At least not completely. However it should return in a modified form. Something that allows for some tighter rules and gives the Ninjas a bit more free roam when it comes to banning those who are causing an issue for the community. Still, the ideology that Achronos took with the new moderation system is admirable, however it doesn't completely work in its present form. A Hybrid system is needed so we can... *PutsOnHannahMontanaCD*... HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
-
Yes, but while still having the options we have. Give the Ninja's more power without taking away our options. I may not want to see something that other people want to see just out of disinterest, that doesn't mean it should be completely gone nor that I should have to see it.

I like the new system, I don't have to wait for a mod to come clean the forums for me.
