Wouldn't it be primordial that the members here do their own rules, fight for the things that truly matter to them? If a majority of users believe a changement should be made, they should be able to express their ideas and users could read the opppsite side (if the people who are against/for that thing believe in their ideas strong enough to write things). Users would read both sides before a vote held by admins and they'd be informed on things. Not only would it be more democratical, it would also be more ethical. 1. Victoria, they can say whatever the bloody hell the want, it's not as if that's a crime today. But if someone's blacklisted, they're blacklisted for a reason... if they admins think that a person should be infinitely banned, they should stay infinitely banned unless the admins --and the users alike-- believe they've somehow changed (This rarely happens from what I've seen, anyhow.) I don't see the need to make some fancy "petition" to get someone off a blacklist. As I said above, it's just another unban-my-buddy-pls.

2. Members "do their own rules"? What SAUSAGERY is this!? I'm going to assume you mean "making their own rules," in which case I simple facepalm at you and move on to my next point.

3. "Fight for the things that truly matter to them"? You speak as though this is some land and people are abusing cows on it with no punishment. This is a website, dearie, there's no need to be a hero, a rebel, or a revolutionist. If you want to be some crusader for justice. If you don't like something, mention it and be done with it. Have a formal discussion, don't go waving a bloody sword around and getting your sausages in a confoodlement. o_o

4. Sure they can. Users can express their opinions all the want and talk about it all damn day for all I care (not as if my caring means a thing here, but I'm jussayin) as long as they don't break any policies doing so. There's a line between "freely expressing opinions" and causing a sausagefest of arguments and unnecessary drama. There doesn't have to be some massive official "petition" for it, just have a damn talk about it.
