I think it is silly and a waste of everyone's time for an admin to write a vote post on a proposal they are not in favor of. You didn't even offer an alternative to status quo. You just said that this is a vote to see if policy ought to be altered without even putting forward a suggestion as to an alternative.

I thought the community might feel differently than I do, Bill. You certainly do, and so I was trying to take the temperature of the water to see if I need to spend time coming up with alternatives myself, or if everyone is fine with the way things are. I fully expected that you would begin championing your own ideas in those threads, soliciting feedback from other admins and gaining support. I can't do that myself if I don't believe it's necessary.

Bill, if you believe things need to change, convince us. Propose your changes and point out how and why it would make for a better environment for everyone and possibly less work for the unpaid, overburdened admins as it is.

While I don't personally believe these things need to change at the moment, I know I can be convinced otherwise. Convince us! :)
