The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Too bad for you. It's no different from -blam!-s who jetpack with rockets, or camo snipers. Get over it and adapt.
Just like those sprinters who double melee you out of nowhere and there's nothing you can do
There being 'nothing you can do' isn't really an excuse though, is it?
Since most guns take a few seconds to deplete a shield, and one melee does that instantly, and Sprint decreases the time it takes to reach someone, and the slower default acceleration makes it harder to avoid the second punch, and the larger window for mutual kills, it is much harder to stop people from double-punching while surviving at anything less than twenty feet.
If you see somebody sprinting at you, wouldn't the logical thing be to back up and shoot at them? Alternatively, carry a close-quarters weapon and kill them when they get close. You really should have one on you anyway.
Saying there's 'nothing you can do' is just wrong.
As I said, the slow movement acceleration would screw you over from going full forward to full backward in less that 20 feet, and full backward is even slower than full forward, not to mention a sprinter. The lunge distance makes up for too much of the distance, and as I said before, most weapons don't deplete shields fast enough to kill the puncher before he reaches you. And even if it did, the window for mutual kills is so large that I've even shot people in the head and still get punched to death; after doing everything right, I still died. The melee does not have to be that strong, period.
And yes, the way to stop double punchers is to constantly have a shotgun or sword on you. The only non-power weapons that strip shields faster than normal are plasma weapons and the spiker. The spiker is rare as hell on almost all maps as well as the plasma rifle, and the plasma pistol is almost as cheap as double-punching.
My point is, the melee has no need to be that strong. A reduced melee strength would solve so many problems.
