1) Everyone does have the opportunity to voice their opinions, insomuch as they can make them known to the community (including the administrators). Or did you have something else in mind when you say "voice"?

2) Unless we actually institute a system by which decisions are made by voting, then their opinions would ultimately be subject to the administrator's "interpretation" anyways. Is that what you are advocating?

About the rules, I haven't seen very many complaints about them for a long time (with the single exception of the issue you brought up). And actually we did agree to make a change to that rule. But... We forgot to do it officially.
