Obviously that won't happen, but the same could be argued of any other change. If the community wants it, then there shouldn't be a group of users who can veto that. I don't agree. That might be how you think things should be, but there has to be a line on what the community can and can't do. And the community determines that line. That's how wikis work. The content, policies, guidelines, etc are all determined by the community for them to create the most effective system to build the wiki and community. Since you and other members of the community agree that words like the F word shouldn't be allowed, you've already determined that line. However, if at any time you and your fellow community members find it to be beneficial to the community to change that line, there's no reason why any group of users can prevent you from redetermining that line after the community voted for it. Welp. I'm starting to hate this place. I can't agree on a lot of the ideologies going on anymore. If things like this are going to keep happening, I don't think I'm going to stick around for it.
