Bungie.net was just different overall. It was a different time. I was a mod there from around Halo 3 launch to around Curse of Osiris or so. At first we normally just browsed the forums and dealt with whatever we found. At some point we got the report queue system along with a big site overhaul (shoutout to Achronos, the site overlord). After that we mostly just kept the queue as empty as possible. As time went on and the community grew and grew, it became impossible to really clear out the queue so we just tried to prioritize the bad stuff and let the small stuff slide.
Halo was huge of course, but there wasn't as much "investment" (for lack of better term) in Halo as there is in Destiny. To me, it wasn't passionate in quite the same way. You had your spammers and trolls sure, but not like today. Nobody was getting doxxed or swatted or any of that shit, there wasn't an undercurrent of outrage like there is here.
We had fun but as time went on, the old, more irreverent Bungie culture slowly disappeared as the community grew, and it wasn't the same after that. We had perks too, like Recon armor in Halo 3 and free map packs and stuff like that. We got cool emblems in Destiny, which I still use, but the days of free DLC are long gone lol. Overall it was a wild and vastly different time compared to today. Good luck out there!
