It was brought to my attention that admins are able to veto community votes follwing a unanimous agreement among the admins. In other words, even if the community reaches consensus on a vote, the administrators can veto it against what the community voted. The reason we should disallow this admin ability is that it's unfair to the community and essentially ruins the point of a wiki. Wikis are built by the community—that includes policies and all. If the community decides to do something such as a policy change, the admins shouldn't be able to reject that change after it was voted for. If an admin has a reason to not want such a change, they should state their opposition and reasoning in the community forum. If the majority of the community still votes otherwise, there's no reason that the administrators should be able to reject it after it's been voted for.
