Well, that is how Staff deals with situations which require voting, so they can better track who says what. Of course, here socks cannot be *confirmed*, but even so vote-by-comments is closer to fairer.

However, as I said, in situations where something extremely popular, a voting situation is likely to only go the way of popularity. For example, going into it we know that most of the commmunity wants Complete Monster to stay. Asking them, even couched as "asking the community", the answer is virtually decided from the start. And you will still have those who go about gathering numbers for their side.

In my experience, there are some situations which require Admin Decisions regardless of how popular they may be. After all, keep in mind that messes will fall always to the Admins and Content Moderators to revert and cleanup.
