Unfortunately while I feel for those that will lose their accounts it is for the best, I'm on these forums everyday and see the shit the Bungie and the mods have to put up with, most of it isn't even constructive criticism, it's just people being complete nobs.
People need to realise that Halo is gone from Bungie.net, I know a lot of guys here built a foundation of groups and friends based on their love for the games, but that's not Bungies fault they still linger here and they have moved on now.
This move is just a sure fire way of saying if you value your account, don't be a dick and you'll be cool. It might not stop people creating alts linked to Destiny that are then used to continue being arseholes, but I can't say I'd know anyone in their right mind that would go through the effort of making account after account.
Besides, if your email is tied to your PSN/XBOX account, if that email were to be banned from forum access you'd need to make a whole new account AND spend money on a monthly/quarterly/yearly membership to connect to their Destiny servers, though I think you can connect for free, im not sure, going through all that is a ballache
Doesn't sound like a fun process to me.

Things that you disagree with tend to stand out more than those you don't. As for the Halo days, I could care less about that. What matters to me is, though, the fact that I can't interact with members of the community without having to have owned and played Destiny. The way they introduced this feature as well was sudden, and not at all planned well, if at all. Then comes the apology from DeeJ, the expected response, the amount of -blam!-s Bungie gives, so on, so on... I was perfectly content to have fun with other members, be it in insanely stupid ways and such. But now I can't. I have no desire to stay with the amount of -blam!-ery that Bungie pulls on us.

I thought you could still use community groups but not the forums?

I can, yes. But do you realize how much that limits a person? A group is fun and all, but when you interact with the same few people everyday, you desire new aquaintances, new interactions. PMs are a largely unnecessary part of it. Being unable to input your opinion on a thread you find interesting or interact with it at all vexes me to no end. There's a sense of belonging to a community when you interact with it often, and being stripped of that ability is one of the worst moves Bungie has made yet.
