I know this is gonna sound a little on the short-tempered side (believe me, I am perfectly calm -- I'm just stressing a point), but: Haven't we already been using and expressing the need to use community consensus in most of our affairs? Why suggest holding something towards the Administrators that should already be in place and enforced to begin with? If there's some Admins blatantly going out of their way to contradict this policy and use their tools to override and ignore the thoughts and feelings of the community, with absolutely no remorse whatsoever, then they should be held accountable for their actions -- I thought this was something everyone knew and agreed on years ago. Admins shouldn't be allowed to do anything major without the consent of the community, because they aren't exempt from the rules and policies that they've agreed to enforce. Again, if there's Admins who're acting on their own in this manner, just reprimand them or punish them outright and move on.


 * Regardless, even though I think I've made it clear numerous times in the past how Pro-Community-Consensus I am, I'm gonna throw in my support on this thing.

Regarding to that last part, as I'm sure you know, there's been some issues lately with administrators doing whatever they want as they please and using the excuse "it's administrator discretion" to loophole the community consensus. Like I said, I'm sure you knew that.
