If you don't vote in an election, the President will still make decisions that affect you. I think this forum is the best place to propose ideas, mainly because it's the only place where it's allowed. A community council seems unnecessary, and would probably only cause problems in the long run. We all know the members who are trustworthy and deserve our respect, that's good enough.
I do agree that a council has virtually no benefits what-so-ever, but I have a few comments about your second point.
Yes, most of us can agree on a handfull of members that are trustworthy and whatnot, but that's only our sub-group's preferences. As Gnome pointed out a few posts up. there are many sub-communities that make up Bungie.net.
I can't just say to ignore them because our views and ideas are usually more wholesome than theirs, as the reprocussions to them may be so severe that it completely destroys the infrastructure here. If we select a group of anti-flamer, no-tolerance, punishment-mongers, then that's what our community will become. I feel that I can't let that happen.
It's either that, or we let things go on as they are now. I don't think there's any way to tell which way will be better. I think if we got some more moderator-member working togetherness, it'd be a start. I'm pretty sure there is already plenty of that, though. We also have Achronos' new inventions coming out, so those will only help. I think it would be prudent to wait until then, and then see if there is anything left to be done.
