Since Bungie.next was implemented, one glaring flaw has remained unfixed: the decreased functionality of private groups. While the main forums grew increasingly inactive in the months before the update, private groups played a vital role in keeping old Bungie.net members active. Like many private chapter administrators, I expected that Bungie.next would offer new features to groups that would enhance their functionality. And like many of those administrators, I am now disappointed. Bungie.next took what was a flawed-but-functional system and stripped it of qualities that enabled groups to run smoothly. Dozens of private groups became entirely inactive because of this, while others are hovering on the brink due to inability to function under the new format. I am therefore calling on Bungie to implement three simple changes to help private groups run "better" (meaning at least as well as before the update). They are: 1. Allow for non-administrator moderators. 2. Allow administrators to lock threads without deleting them. and, most importantly 3. [b]Allow us to ban users in-thread[/b] I am severely disappointed that these features - all of which were common-sense staples of the old group system - were removed without practical alternative. Private groups deserve better than this.
