Marinealver, Since when has it been about cheating??? the column isn't competitive, at least not amongst it's members, i suppose it could be considered highly competitive with the governments of the world, but i'm side-lining.the cheating is something inherent outside the column, something that occurs on live, and something bungie fight against every day.
The column's problem is the attitude of it's members. Many of the newer members aren't prepared to read the rules, or treat the forum with the respect it deserves, and many of the older member's aren't prepared to teach them, not having the patience to tell someone to read the rules, or fearing being tarred with the "forum cop" brush. This is why we have mods admitttedly, but for the thousands of members that joined after the H3 announcement, it wasn't sufficient.

To be honest, i think it's down to a lack of things to do. The Column hasn't been really worth visiting for a while, although indeed that's as much the fault of the people as anything else.
This sums everything up, the people are at fault, we can't be bothered, and the person saying it has become a theme master, so they are more bothered than most.
Personally what we really need is to treat the septagon differently. We can't call it the community because it's maintained by the bungie web development department, and it's only their job to provide a forum for us. As septagonians, it is our duty to provide the things to do, and dispense our knowledge of bungie lore. In fact, we could make our own sites, but we don't. I would like to, but have neither the technical expertise, nor the time, as i am currently studying for my A-levels [in between games of halo].
Dragoneyes' site is a good example of this, because as far as i'm concerned, that too is a part of the seventh column, maintained by and dedicated to a popular member of the forums.
EDIT- infact, if anyone wants to start one, i'll be glad to link it not only in my sig, but on my msn space too
