my point isnt that there should be total democracy. My point is that it is an impractical ideal.

Whats your idea of a solution

This conversation has happened a million times. A server is the brainchild of it's owner. Everyone knows the owner doesnt care. In an ideal system the owner is actively paying attention and staying on top of rules, new content, and big decisions. They pay attention to the community and implement the things that are widely wanted. Since that's never gonna happen there isn't a solution. It's a take it or leave it type situation and if you have strong feelings that things should change for the better youre just setting yourself up for disappointment.
