This is what there forum Admin had to say.

OK everyone, here's the lowdown.
Bungie apparently goes around making these update threads in random forums every week. This week they picked us. While it would've made a lot more sense for them to clear it with admin staff ahead of time, and to explain in the opening post what the heck was going on, what's done is done, and it is time to move on.
Postcounts and Joindates have been enabled for this thread, and this thread only. The idea is, there is a massive influx of newbies coming in here, and they can't tell the regulars from the semi-regulars from the rest of the newbies. Reg's found posting in this thread solely to find out their postcount will end up temp-banned, and may get their postcount reset to zero.
While I'm none too thrilled about the way this travelling thread was executed, it is our duty now that it is here to be gracious hosts through the rest of the weekend. If some newbie signs up and starts trolling from the get-go, by all means notify mod-staff that they need to be banned. But everyone else coming into this thread is just here to see the update, and then is sticking around because they are intrigued by our "unique" first impression on the people coming in from the frontpage of bungie.net, caught as unawares as we were. Try and cut them a little slack as they get acclimated.
SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR FIRST-TIME VISITORS:
WE HAVE RULES HERE. PLEASE LOOK THEM OVER BEFORE GOING ANYWHERE NEAR THAT NEW TOPIC OR POST REPLY BUTTON. Thanks in advance.
And now, without any further ado, here's your weekly Bungie Update, courtesy of Frankie from Bungie Software:
Now that I think about spamming is a stupid idea but it would make you feel good.
