No. This is not how theymos rejects proposals.
Personally, I'm very skeptical and suspicious of these poorly concealed attempts at grabbing more power across the forum, at first through such "interest checks" and then by kicking up a racket about "elections" of a new global moderator...
This rank does not give anyone any kind of power. FYI: Theymos suggested that this thread be created. I think someone needs a tinfoil hat?
