That is very true, but at least they'll know that their ideas were looked into and discussed by everyone.

Thank you. At your counterpoint, isn't that what this whole debate is about? I simply believe it would be fairer for each to have the opportunity to voice their own opinions rather than leave their opinions to the interpretation and sometimes compromising tendencies of the administrators.

For the example, sure: chat rules. There are still some issues with them, which I would very much like to have been able to straighten out before they were put into place. At least try, anyway. But now they're "the rules," and it's difficult to try and raise any kind of discussion on them. My last one lasted, what, two days?
