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.

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.'
