I actually, have to side with Supermorff idea at the right moment of reverting an idea if it has been done to the mainspace, but users later disencourged it. Or we invite users in chat or in a discussion and talk with them about. As I don't see any outlet to this issue besides those two points. I guess my point is that those aren't the decisions that this thread was created to make. Engagement will fall over time if you use past threads to discuss new business. It's great that we've decided to use discussions for user rights, but if you want to gather opinions on the major changes issue, I suggest making a new thread for it. This one hasn't stalled so much as it has run its course. Yes, that's right. But this thread had taken a side to question whatever we will do after the bureaucrats team has fallen apart. So, creating a new thread for how we manage our applying to changes relating to mainspace, seems repetitive and this thread is on.

Also, I don't think I have the solution myself, furthermore, users have sound their ideas on these thread. Therefore, we should just now, give kudos to whether one of these ideas serve our path. Ok, but that makes it harder for the community to engage. You're relying on users to 1) not have switched off notifications for this thread when they thouyght it was over, 2) not ignore notifications from this thread, 3) be able and willing to go through the suggestions posted and identify which ones have got valid suggestions. That's all before they actually put any thought into deciding which ideas they want to be implemented.

Since SNN already has an identified problem with community engagement, it needs to be easier for the community to give their opinions. It doesn't matter that this thread is still open. Close it and open a new one that presents the current suggestions simply and without embellishment. It is very easy for people to engage with that, which means they are more likely to engage with it. That makes sense actually. Ok, I'll give this thread a day and then I'll contact an admin to close it. And while this day is passing, I'll try to implement the way needed to promote, demote or discuss user rights on forums. Then I'll open a new thread to settle things.
