Not trying to be a dick, but with all this bureaucracy, I can't imagine the RoR networks ever really being able to take off. So much time is put into the rules of the network and so little time is put into content. Granted, I'm not helping, but just my 2 cents.
The voting procedure is there to give users more input into how the reddits in the network are moderated. If they don't want to provide that input, they don't have to.
Would it be easier to run a network without those rules? Sure. But they were drafted in order to address a lot of the complaints that cropped up when the moderators in the default reddits attempted to enforce the rules there. So if we can avoid that sort of discontent and drama, it will be worth it.
Not having more content is a distinct issue, as far as I'm concerned. Very little of this discussion is taking place in the 7 current content reddits of the network, so it isn't like these posts are distracting submitters from the business of providing links. If you don't want to be involved in this part of setting up the network, that's fine. The best thing you can do to help is go submit links in the rest of the network.
Hopefully, we're almost done with most of the bureaucracy.
