I also don't think CC and Xploited should just make changes without a vote. I think changes for the security/integrity of the coin should be made without a major consultation. Any change that impacts the core philosophy of the coin should be discussed, and if needed put up for a vote.
So that's "we should vote", "we should not vote", and then "we should vote". I really can't tell what you're getting at here.
That's a we should have voting, we should not vote on "banning digging", and we should have voting.
In real life the masses don't vote for everything. There are people we elect to do most of the voting. and we hope they will vote for there constituents. Some things are beyond there capability and you have a general vote of the masses. I'm suggesting that our elected officials (we elected them by buying clams) decide if a vote should be held, and how it should be done. They can ask for suggestions and listen to replies, but ultimately it is up to them.
As Dooglas stated we could always just force a vote on this by forking the chain. But I agree that we should try to appease most involved.
