I don't think we anticipated that it would end up being the admins regaining near-total control over parts of this wiki's decision-making, most glaringly blocking and unblocking words. We can receive input, which is always good, but that unfortunately doesn't mean much when it's still only 5 or 6 users making the final decision. We aren't a perfect representation of the majority of the wiki's thoughts. Oh of course not. I think the vote was horribly ill-conceived, and I'm not sure if the people voting thought it through all the way. Allowing a select few to speak for an entire community can hardly accurately represent the community's interests. I just think the condescending mocking comes off more directed at the community because they were the ones who ultimately voted in the policy, and it just doesn't feel very appropriate or befitting. Then we're in agreement, lol. Well I don't intend it to be toward the people who voted for it, rather toward the ethos of the wiki as a whole. If that makes sense. Probably doesn't.
