While some users new to the Moot could shy away from it's formality, I designed the Moot that way because I thought I would benefit it more to be at least somewhat formal, but not unbendable. At it's base, I agree with everything you posted. There needs to be a Moot Leader or at least someone in charge that people know about in advance to maintain procedure and order, but while it is preferable they have knowledge of the Moots first, there are rules and tutorials on the Moot page telling them what to do (last time I checked. The page has gone through some major revisions since I first wrote it).

I also agree with the post above. Voting before designated can actually throw people off and some who want to change their votes in the next couple minutes after some reflection may not have the chance or if they brought it up later, it would be off topic and halt the Moot.
