I've seen many complaints from users about self moderation, but I can't seem to understand the problem that everyone has with the new system.
Bungie.old was governed by Employees and Moderators. Sometimes threads would slip through the cracks, sometimes Reports would go unheeded as the offensive content was only offensive to the reader, rather than the community as a whole.
Now that you have the power to Mute people who you find to post offensive content constantly, what exactly is the problem? Now that you have the power to Report/Block a post that you found to be annoying or "against the rules", what is the problem?
Are you more worried about the experience of others than your own? Do you believe that users of this website should be dealt hammers as opposed to your viewership? Are you just annoyed by seeing lines of text letting you know that there is blocked content that you could potentially view?
Please chime in, let your thoughts be heard, and explain to this numbskull how the new system is detrimental to Bungie.net, as opposed to relying on a small force of unpaid (albeit sexy) forum moderators to censor and dictate your experience.

No. Now, if another member considers the mute/hide/report process (all three clicks) to be too time consuming and doesn't want to go through that effort, and yet still expects "someone else to clean up this crap"? Welcome to my world.
