1. Policies - I was talking about all policies, not just one or two. They all need to be reviewed (and some even edited), as has been evident before in other situations. I agree with you - some are more important than others and call for more urgency, but they should all be looked at and edited where required.

2. Division of power IC - I was talking more about Headmasters/mistresses and the Ministry's department heads than the rest. It would work best as a temporary thing, because like you said, everyone has different skills.

3. Division of power OOC - It's fine if they don't consult with regular users, but they should at least listen. They're making the decisions that affect us. The least they could do is listen to what we have to say. And regardless, they should consult the rest of the users in the team, if anything. What would be the point of having a team if only two or three users are calling all the shots? The rest of the admin team is - if you think about it - the vast majority of the userbase.

4. Spokeswoman - Some people feel they cannot do that, though. You can't blame them, they fear facing repercussion. Honestly, it's not ridiculous to take it to private chats - sometimes you have to get input from others before taking such "drastic measures". While I understand your point of being able to assume the spokesperson is lying, that's one of the bigger problems. All this mistrust. Like I said, if someone is acting as spokesperson, it's for a reason. It's not because we want to do this on purpose to piss off everyone in the team, but some people actually have anxiety and don't feel like they can express this kind of stuff. And it's not even just that, there's a wide range of reasons for which they may not want/be comfortable enough to voice their opinions, hence why I'm doing what I'm doing. Additionally, it's not like the admin team would take a look into claims of having a problem unless there's more users that have them. I get your point, but it's the truth. If there's more people to have the same problem than just one, then clearly something is wrong and should be taken action of.

5. Communication - I actually think being able to open discussion forums and bring back voting is a good way to be able to communicate and express ourselves in a range of different topics. Plus like Carn said, the meetings would be a good way to make things work. I just want to see the community come back from the hole it's sort of in.
