Some of these suggestions seem fine, but also conflict and it can become confusing.

1) No more Support/Oppose votes: I agree it should not be down to votes because it can easily become a popularity contest.

2) Apply for rights: I agree if the user meets the requirements

3) Discussion instead of votes: I agree here too, BUT then this means it falls down to the admins to decide in the end. That is kinda the system now - is it not?

Also, lets say if several active users in this community wants a user to have certain rights, and the admins disagree - what happens? Seriously.


 * Are the admins allowed to refuse nominations?
 * If yes, then some are going to see this as too authorative.
 * If no, then there is not point in giving the final decision to admins and you may as well have votes.


 * Some of the community would be mad if said user did not get the rights - do they need to accept the decision?
 * How do you gauge if the supporters of said user are representative of the community, or at least a majority of it without votes?
