...and B) is probably still considering the consequences of social features.A quote from Achronos is telling me Bungie might be moving away from their previous forceful philosophy on the website and leaning towards more social features and overall giving users more privileges:
This is a video game developer's board. A community formed around a shared form of entertainment. Shouldn't I be able to focus on the fun to the exclusion of the "divergent opinions" should I so choose? If I don't really care about learning or interacting or growing with the community, should I have to? Should the community drag me into the light so that it can grow as a whole, and is that growth positive? Or should it let me stay in darkness if I want, perhaps emphasizing the quality of those who do "stand in the light", so to speak?Examples of very little customization and no advanced posting privileges (i.e. embedding pictures) tell me Bungie is (was?) in the business of fostering maturity and civility in the forum through force and restrictions. This created fake maturity in the forum simply because posters had little means to be immature, and the real maturity among the forum was revealed on that day when users figured out how to embed pictures on the forum. This is just my rambling thoughts and predictions though. :)
