I think this is a good idea. I understand that you only posted in the Septagon to get the mods' attention, and that any other Bungie.net member has every opportunity to organise their own match for whoever they wish.

And somehow The Flood fall into a different category than the Bungie.net members? Please.

...Acting like the Flood is a completely seperate group just continues to feed certain people's egos and what-not. Just my thinking.
Oh, don't worry, he contradicts himself later...

...Of course, if you're not interested enough in the community to come to the Septagon, I guess you're not interested enough to participate in Community activities. Those hiding in groups and other forums exclusively, miss out, for a good reason, too.

Actually he doesnt contradict himself. He said in his original post that the flood isnt a seperate group, and he continues that in the second saying that this forum holds community activities, as in the ENTIRE community. As in, including the flood, as it is part of the same community as everything else. How does that make him contradict himself? It doesnt. As for this nonsense of yours that I placed in bold, I will respond with bold. THERE IS NO FLOOD COMMUNITY, ask anyone with half a brain, who isnt an elitist self described floodian, and they will tell you the same. The flood is a forum, not a community. That would be the same as saying there is a classifieds community. There isnt. If you want a flood community, do it in a private group and keep it out of here as everyone else has come to the realization that we are the BUNGIE community.

Oh! I have an Idea, lets go make a Bungiepedia V Bungie.Net Mods match. </sarcasm>
Unnecessary comment.
Please dont bring up unnecessary comments as half of the posts in here, and the original thread are from people who call themselves floodians. Posts like "Kill the mod! Cut his internet! Bash his sanity!" I might add it was a nice bump too.
Why arent you calling him out? Wait, because he is part of the same sad little elitist clique as you are.

Not only that, but I think that those who frequent the Community forum are generally the best candidates to play anyway.
So other forum goers aren't worthy? They aren't 'real' members? They don't 'deserve' to play?
Actually he never said anyone wasnt worthy, he said others are better candidates. People who frequent other forums tend to have more of a history with moderators(bans), a record of more childish behaivior(do a barrel roll, i blame stosh, aids, your mom, etc.), and so on. While these problems do present themselves in the septagon(see recons bad jokes), they are far less common.

... the Community Forum would be the best place to host them. Generally that means that regulars to this forum would get in first, but those people are probably more active in the Community anyway, and everyone still is invited and has a chance to get in.
So people who post valid and useful things in all the other forums everyday aren't good enough? They don't post in the Septagon so they aren't regular or active?He never said anything like this, but the fact is, the community forum is the place for community activities. This is simply where it belongs.
This is terrible. Elitism is rife within the Septagon regulars.
As is the flood. It has even gotten to the point that you are calling yourselves a community, excluding others. I.E. "Flood community activities" "Floodians" etc. Have you been to the flood and found any posts reguarding peoples thoughts on "new members"
Here is a quote

Good to see you monty. Um... hm... why are new forum members persecuted?
Also, to welcome you back: [Barney removed]
Because, as I've said before, all the new members are idiots. Even I was. And you were too.
What really matters is how long they stay an idiot.
Wow, new memebers are all idiots, that seems like elitism to me.
The fact is, this entire thing started because the elitists who roam the flood forum made a thread where it didnt belong, in order to make a game where they got to chose the members they wanted and exclude the members that they didnt want. That is why sword even admitted he added people he wanted there. If you take the time to look at that thread link you will see that there are dozens of mentioning of how this is the "Flood" vs. the mods. Not members, not community, the flood. As in, if you arent from the flood, you arent playing.
Posts like this It depends on who would participate in such a game.
If, for instance, McGee and/or Ada would play, you can definately count me in.
Its getting the moderators to agree that is the problem.
Edit: Hell no, either you put me in w/McGee's team or I'm not playing.
make it even more obvious that this is "floodian clique" vs. the mods. He wont even play if he isnt on his clique's team. And this is the OP of this thread? The guy who is supposed to be telling us it was community members vs. mods? I somehow dont believe him.
But wait, there is even more.
I'll put it in the Septagon. I guess I can set this whole thing up.
Of course, the people who have already signed up in here, minus a few trolls, will stay on teh list.
So now it is up to him to decide who the trolls are, not the mods who are supposed to ban them, but instead he can label people as rule breakers and remove them at his own discression. I wonder how many people we would consider trolls are still there, and how many people we wouldnt consider trolls were removed. Either way, this just adds more crap to the entire situation
So sum it all up, this whole thing is a joke. It is just another cliquey elitist pile of crap that is bringing this site down.
