Hmmm, you and some other guys effectively sabotaged voting several 
times. Did you noticed the side effect, that most of the discussion 
about the proposals almost stopped completely - leading up to almost NO 
IMPROVEMENTS to the mess of proposals we have. This will certainly help 
everyone a lot, thank you!


Just ignoring the current mess we have in the map features caused in the 
years past (e.g. no one seemed to care about documenting the features - 
leading to a LOT OF confusion), sabotaging an actually working voting 
process to more or less quickly find decisions about how to improve 
stuff and NOT providing a better way of improving the current situation 
is, well, strange.

You're queueing up to the long list of people just telling us how to not 
do things, but you also know that we already have enough of those people ...
