And yet discussion moderators perform the exact same job as chat moderators on the chat. It takes very little effort, yes, but in terms of global wikias, it would be a heck of a lot of work. Here, not so much, and the system now just requires a report to be filed of what actually happened.

I discussed what rules I should be including when I was writing the first draft of the rules. I completely forgot I'd said that, and saw it was necessary, so put it in. Well, it would benefit me, since it's designed to benefit everyone, but that's not the main point. The main point is to stop people randomly removing comments, closing threads, and banning you from their walls, without an authority recognised by the rules. I clarified the limits to this authority, and legitimised a couple of things not already there, thus reaching a compromise between people thinking they should be allowed to have authority, which they do, and people thinking there need to be limitations, which there are. If you would like to make a poll, then make a message calling for a poll, not one trying to point out the flaws in a system you're entirely misrepresenting. So no, if you wanted to make a poll, you should've considered more carefully your opening statement, rather than thinking to throw it in halfway with no opposition. Now, if you want to do it here and now, I've got no problem with that, but trying to force me off of this thread to do it seems more than a tad extreme.
