Perhaps this "triumvirate" could have worked, but we were not comfortable with that job, nor do I think we were suitable for it. Instead of a triumvirate, what about a council?

In fact, how many beuros does SNN have in total? See here I see, isn't four beuros and a few admins enough to get major decisions done, even with community threads on it?

Perhaps a best solution to improove activity and progress would be to encourage the community who want improovements to SNN to make use of Site Discussion board as much as possible with suggestion threads. The community can and  the subject on the threads. Admins and beuros have the deciding vote or if the staff is not sure see what the community has to say about it.

Perhaps rename "Site Discussions" to "Site Suggestions" to make it more of an open board and less of an staff room.

After all the reason why we wanted an improoved system was because not enough $#!7 was getting done, however $#!7 definately got done when an idea was proposed, had a heavy thread to talk over it and a decision was made and done. Granted it kinda went awry and back to square one, but the point is A LOT has happened in the span of a few days, like less than a week, than it will ever happen on that old Element thing I made ages bak that no one touched. Just to clear it up, not all our admins know or interested in main space articles at all, it may sound sad, but this is the truth. Discussions that can get their interests are those which related to the wiki overall, not mainspace and the examples for this case are a lot, and I cannot blame them if they do not have any knowledge in such subjects, that's acceptable but I just hoped we can be better.

But the problem, is that we have four admins, and one or two crats caring if you ask them. Otherwise, we do not have much voices with us.

However, there's still something that is bugging me. Why don't we move the requests for user rights to a board in discussions? Wouldn't that make it easier for users to cast their voices like any regular discussion? As I see many wikis do that successfully, and we can also highlight it unlike the Sonic News Network:Requests for User Rights page.
