Sure, but not everything the community wants is either doable (20 player tb PLEAS HAMAP) or (in
SOME cases) even healthy. Polls are nice but I'd rather the sub-community managers be the ones who approve/dissaprove, by their own intelligence but also by communicating with the devs and staff who would be necessary to implement such a change. Forcing this interaction brings devs out from the shadow realm which they currently reside in and connects them with the community through the managers - bolstering activity and interest on
both sides.
