Subject: The 7th Column Council

They're a a type of group; the type that isn't a clan.

Though I suppose clans could be included.

Chapters are what groups were called in the past before the new hotness.

Clans? are they part of the column? The problem i think that the council will face is the number of chapters. would they recieve a list of good chapters then go through and decide which one's best etc? or would they have to go and just randomly search?

Most of the best chapters are regualy seen in signatures but not all.

You can just use one "!", having 15 doesn't add more emphasis.

Faith is my Shield,
Do not leap blindly into uncertainty,
And you may live to reap the rewards.

So this is what you have come up wiht so far:

-The 7th Column gets its own Page on B.net.

-The 7th Column Council runs this page.

-On this page is the 7th Column Week-in Review, and Chapter Spotlight, all written and decided by Council members.

-Also on this page would be a council member only Forum for discussions of improving the 7th Column as a whole.

All that right there sounds like a plan to me. Only two things left to do:
1: Pick who is on the council.
2: Make the damn page.
I say lets do it people!

We first need some Bungie employee feedback. Gah! Where is Sketch when you need him?

NO offense to him but I dont think Sletch is the man to turn to here. Achronos runs the 7th Column so wouldnt he be the man to turn to here?

  • 04.13.2005 3:46 AM PDT

Tom handles the tecnical side. Sketch handles the community, hence he's the Community Guy.

Ah ok, my bad. But we still need to talk to Achronos(Tom) to, becuase he would have to implement all this, and we want to make sure its possible in the first place before we say thats what we are going to do.

I think it's safe to say you have the go ahead for the council from the members here.
All that's left is for them to 'discuss' it and hopefuly we get some more information soon.

Damn straight it's a good idea. You guys get weight taken from your shoulders, and can spend more time cleaning up whatever mess the bad eggs on the rest of the forums create.

... Actually are YOU sure you want to do that? :D


Personally, beyond actual work you mentioned above, I could see the Council acting as inspirational 'model denizens' for the rest of the Column. You guys are spread pretty thin in comparison to the number of posters these days, and I'm sure you'd rather be dealing with serious offenders rather than just mildly annoying posters who need a gentle nudge in the right direction.

Can i just suggest that you don't just have oldtimers and people how's chapters have a lot of members. I feel that it should be a bit more democratic than that. (Just a suggestion, feel free to ignore me if you so wish)


Still, i do believe that the the councilers(?) should be a member of B.net for at least 3 months or so.


The problem is that some people have changed their account in the past (Like Me). I have been a member on the account "Waitingforhalo3" Since just about the release of halo 2, if not a little before that...

I think its a very good idea. the real purpose of the council would probably be just keep the fourm in order I would love to be picked for it and every time im on a computer i got to bungie and that is very often. I would deem it a great personal favor if you chose me for it.

That's what moderators are for.

Just a thought: Instead of a Chpater spotlight, it could also be a chapter/clan spotlight.
