But that's far from the case. Take Camwood777, a former ADMINISTRATOR, who told me to shove a cheese grater up somewhere I won't even mention. Zambiealex, a former CONTENT MODERATOR, who threatened to make my girlfriend hate me just so he could date me after seeing my face reveal. And that's just what's happened to me. Sure, these are sparse cases, but the thought of these people getting more of their voice heard than some amazing regular users like AWB and Whatevz is kind of sad. We worked fine for a long time as a democracy. The vote threads about one single apostrophe were only caused by a few users. This is not to say that the whole idea is flawed. I have two suggestions: OR These are just a few suggestions. Let me know if they need tweaking. Hopefully we'll all come to a reasonable understanding. Some of staff recognized they had problems for a while, but at the time, everyone was too enthralled by Camp's stories and Zambie didn't show his true colors.
 * Let staff decide everything but promotion threads. (This would make users not spam inane voting threads but still not let staff gain absolute power.)
 * Let staff instantly decide promotions and only let staff create voting threads but let everyone vote on them. (This would make users not spam voting threads and allow staff to choose good candidates but not let staff unanimously make bad decisions.)
