Seriously after seeing very offensive Topic titles and reading through the nonsense in some of these posts I think there should be an age limit set on the forums. The game is rated M, so why not impose the same restrictions on the forum? Yeah, even if you were able to do so people would find a way to get in but just give the average underage kid an obstacle to overcome. Most of them don't have the patience or willpower to go much further. I just think this would eliminate over half of the pointless, rude and abusive posts in the forums.
I don't know, I'm just sick of reading all this crap from kids who have no respect or understanding of how to compose themselves. I at least would be able to have a more positive experience while I visit.
Did you report any of the topic titles or offensive posts? I'm not challenging or downplaying your concerns, as a matter of fact, what bothered you is something that I care immensely about.
We have a team of forum moderators (listed here ) who all take the Terms of Use, Code of Conduct and the Forum Rules VERY seriously. With the millions of post (yes millions) there is no way that we can patrol them all. If members want to help make these forums better, they can help us. Just PM a moderator a link to a thread that has the member who is making the forums unpleasant and we can focus on that specific member.
The Bungie.Net forums are a community. The ninjas are "law enforcement" and PM's are the 911 system. If no one calls in a crime, it goes unreported and unpunished. Members of the community can help to make the society as pleasant as they want it to be.
The reason that age restrictions on this site are unworkable is that this site is meant to be (at worse) the equivalent of "PG-13". Just because a Bungie game is rated M, that doesn't mean that this is a Halo 2-only site or that 18+ is the lower limit of Bungie fans.
I am only 13 and I am on this website. Some people are even older than me and act less mature.
