  The responses to this got me thinking:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=498526

Would committees be a good thing for BL?

NO, This is NOT a democratic site, all decisions made on this site are Admins
only.

Allowing simple tasks to be performed by a committee of more than one does not
overthrow Admin and install a legislature!

  

  I suggest a committee of 3 people for Listing violations: Have the problem reports
sent to 3 members (maybe even conceal the store/user name) and let them vote.
2 votes and the listing gets removed.

I certainly don't want or need a 'committee' to tell me how what I can list or
not list, that's why we have 'rules'

The idea is simply for a committee to help enforce the rules. Are you against
enforcement of the rules?

  
  
I'm sure we would be able to find members for a committee of 3 or maybe 5 very
quickly and that decisions on listings would be decided very quickly.

Yes, I'm sure your right, no doubt headed by you? Maybe a few more people who
'think' they should run Bricklink?

WOW! --
I can tell you unequivocally that I would not want to serve on such a committee.
On the other hand, I'm sure you would make an excellent member of such a committee.

  
  
Obviously Admin and/or the CO would be able to appoint/remove those committee
members and Admin and maybe the CO would also be able to overrule them.

Admin has the final word on ALL decisions, and that's the way I like it. I certainly
don't another seller who's on a committee telling me I've listed something incorrect,
and if I don't do something about it, your 'committee' will.

Why? Are you opposed to having incorrect listings in your store pointed out?
Do you have a lot of those?



  

There's an old saying, if it's not broken, don't fix it.

It's not that old - 1977. It was coined by Bert Lance - a member of Jimmy Carter's
administration that was forced to resign after being exposed in a major scandal.
Apparently he didn't want people poking around too much in the work he was doing...

It has been a source of anti-activism ever since.
