...But a survey about fairies is not really appropriate here, especially at the very bottom (many people will simply miss it/not see it).

You should at least have looked at the survey results before writing that.
Out of 56 voters, only four did not vote on the fairy and RR issue – is that "many"?

A 75% quorum is required to pass changes to the rules, but here the passing score was artificially lowered to 50% :smile10:

The situation is much worse.
I constantly make amendments and clarifications to the rules, without any voting or democratic discussions and arguments, like a tyrant and despot. I do this when controversial situations arise, or when there are opportunities for misunderstanding or different interpretations. Often, this happens after discussing the issue with other judges in the Arbitration Committee.
Putting every amendment up for a vote is unthinkable – neither the players want it, nor would our tournament threads be drowned in endless empty polls, and then I would simply die.

Regarding the percentages, I already wrote that that vote was incorrect, and I see no point in adhering to its results.
Regarding controversial points in the rules that imply an alternative, I believe it is fair if the new option passes by gaining more than 50%.
I put up for a vote those positions that, over a certain period of time (currently about a year), have caused the most doubts about the validity of the rule.

For those who do not understand why I do this, I clarify that these rules are primarily the rules of the seasonal tournament, which I organize. Therefore, I have every right not to consult with anyone and to write absolutely anything that comes to my mind. However, I do not do that.
