What makes us different from the community that we left?

What is it about this website, and the small community we have that makes us different then the community we left back at B.Net.

Other then the fact we're probably on average older, we really aren't that different. What is it about the Bungie community that you hated so much, but somehow believe we don't have the same issue here?

We can swear at each other with impunity.

Um, I can talk shit about Bungie with reprieve.

>tfw i hated bungie before it was cool

We're like a resistance to Bungie basically. This site isn't a dictatorship like B.old was and we can get away with a lot more than ever before.

Well for starts, there isn't a moderator on here that wont try and shadow ban you in a desperate attempt to kick you off the site (Seriously, FUCK Dazarobbo). But if you want me to put everything down into a clean precise reasoning.

1. Political/Religious discussion is segregated. This one is probably the second most important reason as to why the community on B.net went to shit immediately. Bungie sat there and said "Just hide what you don't like :^)" while ignoring the LEGITIMATE criticisms of that mentality (IE: Why can't we just hide NSFW material and make that allowed?). And the fact that every single political/religious thread showed that NOBODY ever did that.

2. Layout is simple. Don't fix what isn't broken, and Bungie swore up and down that the community was becoming "Too large" to keep the old layout despite the fact that none of us saw an increase in site traffic.

3. Site was broken for over half a year. I get that it was brand new and we had to get accustomed to it (I barely got used to 2013 B..net when they decided to change it AGAIN and made it so bad that I gave up completely). Topic buttons barely worked, pages wouldn't refresh, notifications never went away. It was kind of hard to get the site into a somewhat comfortable layout with the tools you had.

4. Titles and prefixes went byebye. As a Fabled Mythic member, I felt pretty invested in the community, and we didn't need a giant number to display our seniority when our join date did that for us.

5. The community Manager is a sad, pathetic, fedora tipping, victim blaming neck beard. This one is self-explanatory.

We're basically just a large group on b.old tho

It's not that we are better by any means, it's just what I prefer.

I got tired of a big forum filled with fodder and the occasional regular face, along with the shitty direction bungie kept heading in. The blinding white didn't help but eh, darkscript.

Here we have a community where everyone knows everyone (active users that is) and as vitriolic as it was last year it's pretty civil here really. Not in terms of everyone talks about tea and crumpets, but that you don't really get the argument of 'your a fuckin retard kiddo' as the primary tool of discussion (much).

But having a closer-knit community means we have to put up with the drama that can cause, which I thank the god emperor trump has been pretty much gone since the agitators buggered off. We survived last year which was basically one large flamey shitposting war and now I'd say things are pretty pleasant here.

Maybe it's just what I saw from having to deal with the neverending stream of reports but by comparison things today are infinitely better than they were this time last year.

tl;dr

It's a small town kind of place, everyone knows everyone at this point and it's nice to see regular faces every day. We also allow people to say pretty much what they feel like, outside of the serious board, rather than going all JIDF and banning people for being mean :^(

only because we don't have shadowbans yet
Sep7 stands for free speech!

Tfw Dazarobbo is actually good friends with Flee.

That's how I see it, but my point was more of the fact that even if we are a small portion of older members, we still represent how Bungie still is, just with less people. Like how we act really isn't that different. The only difference is that we actually know and are familiar with who were talking to on here

I love Sep7.

I have absolutely nothing against Flee, and I would never judge someone over their preferences in friends. However I will make it clear that I think Daz is objectively a shitty moderator and did not deserve the title.

Tfw Dazarobbo is actually good friends with Flee.

Everyone seems to forget that DeeJ was actually pretty damn cool and treated all of us well before Destiny was announced. He was with us in the darkness, and we had the mail sack, which was actually great. Shit he even let me help make the first and second reverse mail sack.

Like he did his job and I find it really hard to believe that he's lost it, but that it's just Bungie sort of fucking him over.

He's not Urk, but it's obvious he's doing the best he can. Sure it's not a lot, but I noticed how he was before all of this but everyone seemed to have forgotten.

Does he annoy me now? Yes. But I don't think he's shit, I just think he's in a tough spot

Daz is a brain-dead liberal troll. It's amazing what kind of difference one letter in your name does to someone.

Pre-Destiny Bungie never limited access to the public forums if you didn't own a copy of Halo, and the Optimatch Playlist only required a linked Gamertag, no games of Halo necessary. I fail to see how the traffic will be curbed on B.net now that you need a linked Guardian to play. If they wanted to prevent Alt's they shouldn't have let people change their usernames at the drop of a hat and offer more methods of making customizable avatars via linked Gamertags.

Also, DeeJ blaming Charlie for personal attacks against him is bullshit when the whole point of a community is to grow and foster real friendships. DeeJ just wants everyone to be raid buddies, and as someone who used to static raid in FF, I can say with certainty that the chances of developing real sincere friendships over a fucking boss fight is extremely small.

The Charlie incident was something I found out about later, and it happened after the darkness. All I'm saying is DeeJ was cool as fuck to all of us for a pretty long time, and that everyone seems to forget that

Daz was cool.

except for that one time he took away my ability to report coups on report july

-competent, mostly impartial moderators

-palatable website design

-banter

-no god awful clusterfuck of hashtags

But perhaps the most defining attribute of our community that I really appreciate is that we're open to discussion and dissenting points of view. Cancerous hugboxes like Sapphire, and also B.next to a certain extent lost out on so many potential discussions that they could've had. I can't tell you how many times I've changed my mind on various topics due to being exposed to different arguments here.

Sounds chessy as hell but I've probably learned more from here than I have at university.

He was a perfectly fine, average Joe poster when the thread was NOT related to politics or religion. The problem that was almost every thread he made, he would skew data, move goal posts, and like I said before SHADOW BAN people to make sure he "Won" every argument.

He was literally Predator horseshoed.

well for starters they're called bungie.net and we're called sep7agon.net
