Ned1230, you are prejudging people. How do you know anyone doesn't like you? What are you basing that on? A feeling? Did a staff or another member outright tell you that they don't like you? Just by looking at your user page you do a whole lot of judging others as if it's your duty to judge them. Who are you to say that someone should "Never to be nominated again". It's really not up to you. People can change if they want to.

This wiki does handle consensus as democratically as possible, which is why anyone can voice their opinion on changes. After there is a discussion, there is a voting to gather consensus on the matter at hand if it should pass or not. We don't restrict voting or voicing the opinions of others. There will be some consensus that go in your favor and others that may not go in your favor. Not everyone will get what they want.

If the majority of members feel that changing nominations to staff based on the information they gathered from previous experiences, then it would pass. If the majority didn't agree based on information they gathered, then it wouldn't pass. This is why we have these discussions before voting can start.

And, to answer what you wrote on my talk page about "We'd be putting all the power in your hands". The wiki is not in "my hands". It's not my wiki, it's the community's wiki and that is why changes to policy is voted on by all the community. This is a serious discussion, no one is trying to have all the power for themselves here.
