Hi nightshade,
Without wanting to run off topic, as you know, WAB is very much community-driven and we're keen for as many people as possible to get involved in the admin of the site.
Our admin forums are there for design issues, trialing new features, adding/moving sections etc, so I think this topic is more than a basic admin decision. It's a topic that'll effect everyone, raising awareness of issues that many hadn't even considered. It also keeps us very transparent, there's nothing to hide and it helps explain our policy from the outset, thereby reducing the number of emails/complaints we'll get in the future.
We've always said that we aim for WAB to be 'your' site and it's one of the qualities that sets WAB apart. As a result, I think that wherever possible, it's only fair that we debate major changes amongst the community, rather than simply dictate the policy of the few (by this I mean me and the other trustees). By opening the debate we've had some good arguments for and against that will ultimately enable us to make a more informed decision.
