User blog comment:Ale-Alejandro/"We'll Vote On It In Council" - My Opinion/@comment-1944824-20110410173649/@comment-3105751-20110410212555

That's all well and good, but you don't have to be so all-or-nothing about this. Just because we want a system where users have some say doesn't mean we need every user. Why is it that users who have a ton of edits but are disliked by admins/rollbacks who will never get promoted get no say? And yes, I've seen this happen before. No, I'm not talking about myself.

What I'm saying is that certain experienced users should be allowed in Council. Or, at least, Council shouldn't be a secret room, so if the user really cared, they could go in and have a say, or at least watch.
