So what is it about the 'democratic' structure of other boards that you don't like?

I mean, it seems to me that there are indefinately many different systems which may be construed as being democratic in one way or another. Dr B seemed to have some fairly particular ideas in mind when he asked about it on admin, but I was wondering whether people might have some alternative views on the kinds of things that babble could usefully be democratic about. Such issues might include (for example)

- which words are considered offensive / inoffensive to the babble community.
- which ideas should be implemented and which ideas should not.

And then there is the further issue of whether a vote (by interested parties) should decide the issue, or whether there needs to be a certain majority to swing it, or whether everyone needs to agree...

Just some thoughts...
If babble is a social group
and a social group is a society
Then maybe the social group should take a more active role in determining the limits of what is and is not acceptable to the group.

Or maybe we should just say: 'its a volountary society and so if you don't like it then you can just b*gg*r off'.

Or maybe we just say 'oh well, who cares?'.

I am just interested in peoples thoughts...
not planning a revolution or anything...
