You are partly wrong, Pom. The MT has always paid attention to comments and suggestions from participants, and has in the past made changes that could be shown to be desirable by contributing to the fundamental ethos of the SOTA award scheme. Changes that conflict with the fundamental ethos of SOTA will always be rejected. But ādemandsā, now, is a word that in this context carries a feeling of being peremptory, claiming as of right something that is due or owned. Participants are not in a position to make demands - they can take part or not take part, their choice, but they can only make suggestions.
It is all very well complaining about the 100 post limit, but those who voted against it are outnumbered nearly 2:1 by those who voted for it. It does no good to complain about a majority decision - and I voted for 500 myself - the best thing to do is bide your time and see if the 100 limit is a real nuisance to all or a minor irritation to a few, if it seems a real nuisance then a simple request to the MT will re-open the question. Meanwhile I think the poll hasnāt been closedā¦
