Answer is very simple - referendum is tool, which can be used to determine support in Community, for certain ideas. Because Council isn't freakin' government, and can't do or force anything, without, without other volunteers willing to participate.

Now, Your initial answer was suggesting, that there is some established way of abusing referendum for removing volunteers from volunteering, by first creating trolls heaven thread, and gaining support in it.Of course, it's not true, as it was only Your makeshift invention (and Your fail to provide sources of this "knowledge" speaks for itself).

Let alone fact, that You're giving heroine to addicts, it's just ridiculous idea, in itself. We can as good make referendum to stop fremangordon from volunteering to KP development. Sure, we have referendum system lying around, lets use it for something! I opt for stopping rapes in Darfur first, then we can make Nokia into producing Mer device.

To make long story short - no, people that are interested in dividing Community, must wait for new election, and put their names in hat. Of course, they can always fork community before, provide infrastructure, etc - Council isn't government, and won't *knock knock* to their doors with army, to ensure unity.

Yet, I'm absolutely sure, that no forking will happen - as it would require some *real* work, which trolls are not used nor interested to do.

Now, can we focus on real things? It seem, that in parallel, a discussion about existing (not imagined) procedure is going... Anyway, no matter what, You won't see more replies on this from me, as every second spend on it is wasted one.
