Wh!te, I don't give a damn if everyone agrees with me, or if people even remember that I tried this. Ever since I came to this sight I've been preaching the democracy and majority vote I learned on SNN, where regardless of the end result, at the very least everyone who was interested in the matter got to speak their mind. I've been going on and on about all of that since the first month I joined SFW, and now that it's in place, I'm sure as Hell gonna follow it through and through.

It is that very reason that I don't simply put policies in place. That would be both incredibly hypocritical on my part, but also insulting to everyone else who may have ideas and opinions on the matter, which for all I know could be even more effective than what I thought up.

And as far as I know, people typically don't like it if you spring surprises on them. If policies were just put in place without anyone getting advance notice or an opportunity to say something, more than likely they'll be pissed regardless.

No risk no reward is a true statement in most cases, but let me ask you this: would you risk the financial safety of a business in order to make a quick sum of money, or would you prefer to take the safe route and make that money over time? It's the same on here: I'm not going to risk causing further fights by doing something I myself don't condone. If it takes longer to make progress but gives everyone the opportunity to say their pieace, then I don't mind taking the long route. Why? Because then no-one has any right to get butthurt or make an issue out of it. They can't say that they didn't have a say in the process, nor can they say that they weren't notified beforehand. Thus, anyone complaining or causing trouble because of the results is just trolling, and can easily be banned. From my POV, the longer route makes it safer and more clean-cut.
