So we've been protesting to the wrong people and on the wrong board (reputation), while Theymos is only a few seconds away to edits/modifies in less than 24 hours. For a long time, this is how the DT should have been.
For a long time, that's how it was -- including the first 15 months of your account's existence.
The whole point of changing it was so theymos wouldn't have to deal with it personally (not nearly as much, anyway). He doesn't want to deal with it, so he put it in the hands of the forum members.
It's a (largely) self-regulating body - a unique form of democracy - and there isn't much out there to compare it to. In my experience, its working as intended. Theymos certainly isn't going to meddle with it because of your issue with JollyGood. Feel free to PM him if you want, though I wouldn't expect a reply.
