Policy discussions are conducted here on the Forums or on Message Walls, but both the Discussion app and Discord widget have been heavily pushed by Fandom itself to provide a platform for community interaction, coupled with numerous posts that the current Forums are in the process being phased out in favor of these more mobile applications, so I reject the notion that they're somehow advocating their use as some sort of Fandom-promoted TOS violation. (I've actually even been contacted both on the Community wikia and our Discord channel by multiple other communities asking for assistance in building the widgets that Fandom recommends such as the one we implemented.)

I also feel like the "too many cooks" isn't really a valid concern at this time since we currently struggle to often garner enough input on countless talk pages, threads, etc., to develop a clear community consensus with any degree of regularity.

Anyway, it isn't so much that "some aren't doing enough" as you say, I realize it's a hobby and everybody focuses on areas they like, which is important in and of itself, because above all else this should be fun. Yet there's a constant stream of edits that require their citations be checked, questions to be answers, problems to address in naming, licensing, coding, etc., so to sum it all up succinctly, my point is that many hands make these loads lighter.

Lastly, I've been in contact with VSTF regarding at least two of the most persistent vandals on a fairly regular basis, as well as for a few other issues. The worst have quite literally been IP banned hundreds of times each over the past few years.
