must get community support before putting these changes into effect
This sounds like a good idea in principal, however spammers and shills tend to have oceans of alts they use for vote manipulation and spamming.
Moderators tend to know the difference between legitimate members of a community and malicious alts, however that important distinction will be difficult to define in a rule or process, especially where voting in involved.
Yeah... democracy of any kind on subs would be a trainwreck. Too easy to exploit.
Fuck it, if it gets instituted I'd exploit it just to prove how risky it is. Better me taking over a generic sub then handing it back a day later than some SJW taking it just to delete everything.

"Socialism is a pretty nice idea in theory, but every time people try it millions die. Maybe we just need to try it again? It might work this time."
Some concepts are inherently flawed and cannot be fixed. Democracy is one of them.
