Wait, I'm getting a little confused as we seem to be putting general discussion and promotions together.

For promoting any users it should simply be thumbs up or thumbs down, and two or three sentences for why you feel that way. The discussion is about the user in question and any side topics will simply get removed and void your vote.

For general discussions minimalist systems don't work. As i've been trying to do when i've been proposing something is present an idea for discussion and have people express their opinions about it. Free discussion allows the idea to be changed to better fit the community consensus rather than simply being turned down for not be good enough. In my opinion every good idea is tempered through criticism.

I think there should be some requirements a user must meet before they can be suggested for any specific position, but every user should be able to discuss they feel about said person. The only restriction I would have is that you need to actually be a registered user to participate in the discussion. If you can't even be bothered make an account you probably don't have the wiki's interests at heart.
