These people constantly prove to be really nice and deserve to be allowed to express their opinion on a certain individual, in my opinion. To me, a community consensus means including everyone in the community who's willing to discuss, regardless of how much or how little they've contributed. This is just how I see it, for all I know, no one else will agree with me, as is their right.

Maybe some kind of way for chat mods or admins to allow users to bypass the restriction at their discretion? I don't really know. But we can't let people who don't know the wiki well just throw out a random opinion into a disscussion.

Maybe if we required some sort of reasoning behind the opinion, and ignore those who just say "Let this guy be an admin" we could get most of those problems out. Might be some people who has an opinion but will forget about writing out the reasons.

Perhaps a message telling you to put some reasoning into your opinion could solve that? Would also be good if the board sends an e-mail every time a new thread is created. So people get a notification about it. I don't know if that is possible though, since I've only ever seen it from the "main" wiki.
