'''It's time to remove ancient policies and transition this wiki to a bigger and brighter future. We are a smaller group now, but the information at SNN is the best it has ever been. We need to maintain that and keep up the good work - but the community consensus policy just slows down progress.''' No clue what ANY of this means.

What Bullet Francisco is essentially stating is in bold on this very message, but in case you don't get that, let me simplify it for you: we have users on the site who have these special powers that distinguish them from the rest of the users on the wiki. These special users are called "administrators" and the administrators that are higher up and have even more power are "bureaucrats." Bullet is bringing up the idea of reestablishing power within the wiki to the hands of the bureaucrats instead of the government we have today, which forces new ideas to be passed by a community consensus. Problem is, we have a very small community now: our wiki community has drastically shrunk within the past year even, and now Bullet is proposing the idea of abolishing the community input rule and instead giving the decisions of the wiki's well-being to the bureaucrats. In turn, he's also asking the current, barely-active administrators and bureaucrats to step down their rights and promote trustworthy, active users to bureaucrats to make these decisions.

Hope that helps you.
