I agree... (DBO)
If there is a line being crossed, it's up to the people on the forum to express this. Claude already has, and he did a good job of explaining himself (though the message seemed to go over some folks' heads). That's all that was needed. Not a "You can ignore these people who aren't 100% satisfied!" category.
Yes, because expressing the idea that said line was being crossed has done anything to help solve the situation? No. Things are worse than ever. You can tell that when Claude of all people starts talking about stepping away. Let me repeat that. The person who has overseen Bungie.org for more than 15 years is talking about stepping away. Because the tone of this place has grown so constantly negative. And there are multiple others who have already stepped away or who rarely stop by because of the way things are now. Fact is, DBO has a serious problem. And if there was going to be a change or self-moderation it would have happened by now.
So what’s the solution? Is it what’s happening now? Maybe not. Or maybe not long term. But at least someone is trying to do something. If nothing else, maybe this is an overreaction that will finally get the darn point across that repeated consistent negativity has taken a real toll on this place...
