[quote]Now that you have the power to Mute people who you find to post offensive content constantly, what exactly is the problem?[/quote]I think the ability to mute is the problem. While hiding posts only impacts one post, the act of muting is very different. When you hit mute, you don't just block the offensive post, you hide an entire user of posts. Posts that you might not all find offensive, and some even insightful. It's perfectly fine to skim over posts, but if there is a system in place that hides content from you, you'll never be able to discern if you're missing something without having to forcibly display it. I would also suspect that having to go out of your way to click "view" on hidden posts will make users less likely to do so. dmg, you've been here a long time, and I'm certain you've witnessed people grow here. Not everyone acts like they did five years ago. Additionally, the more people use the mute future, the more "personalized" aka hidden parts of the site become. While you may be happy in your little agreeable-content-only bubble, you'll be unable to see the site as a whole. The more people who ignore, the more users will be separated, and ultimately the overall community will become fragmented and unaware of itself. [quote]Are you more worried about the experience of others than your own[/quote]The experience of users impacts their posting, which directly impacts my own experience. While some may say everything should be personalised and seperate, the reality is that these boards are a social place of shared experience. [quote]Please chime in, let your thoughts be heard, and explain to this numbskull how the new system is detrimental to Bungie.net, as opposed to relying on a small force of unpaid (albeit sexy) forum moderators to censor and dictate your experience.[/quote]Personally I dislike both the previous system of moderation and the current. I would much prefer forums with little user filtering/muting while also maintaining a bare-bones rule system similiar to our current one and based off the Terms of Use (current CoC is a -blam!-ing joke). The forum users could discourage undesirable behaviors while the moderation team exist solely to remove content that could be considered illegal or compromising. I don't believe in most of the rules here, but I can understand most of the ToU. The forums should be as respectful and unoffending as the users; honest discussion before civility.
