A solution to the current forum issues.

[konidias]

Call me crazy... but isn't the Graal Communication Center about communicating?

Why not make polls for old rules and new rules and let the active members of the forum community decide? I'm not saying that every member should just come up with a poll whenever they feel like it... But that the administration/management should create polls when conflicts arise, to try and straighten things out.

Even if the polls don't directly affect change, they could at least let the administration/management know where the majority of active forum posters stand on issues.

An example would be a poll asking if you think a certain rule is too strict. With a simple Yes or No answer. Then the administration could look at say "well okay, 200 people think it's too strict and 20 people are fine with it... maybe we should change it". Not saying you HAVE to change it, but it's just a suggestion.

Why make rules that are going to aggravate 90% of the forum population? I'm just saying... Mother doesn't always know best, and sometimes Mother can be overprotective. By Mother I'm not referring to anyone in particular... Just the authority of the forums. (which includes all admins/mods/management)

Obviously I'm not endorsing anti-Graal anything here. I'm just suggesting that the people can feel like they hold some weight to the decision making around here.
