..right? or am i wrong To quote Obi the LEGO Fan from above:

The point is that we will be having discussions with the community, not just with the admins. Sure a discussion might be bigger with the community involved, but that's not a bad thing. That means we'll get more input and have more ideas before we put it up to an actual vote. If the community helps in the discussion process, then they are also more likely to support things once we vote on them. Also, if they are reading something and can't comment, what happens if they have a good idea or some other feedback? Then they have to start another forum or post on our message walls, which will make the discussion disorganized and spread out instead of focused in one area.

Also, I never liked the idea of admins as "representatives." Admins aren't meant to be politicians who make decisions for the community. We're just trusted members of the community who have some extra tools. Our opinions are no more valid than anyone else's opinion, so why shouldn't they be allowed to contribute?
