+There is no need for representative democracy on the Internet, arranging

+Completely disagree. And what about those Mageia users that don't have a 
+local community or that prefer spending their time on the global forum 
+rather than in local forums?
+
+Again there is zero need for a representative democracy on the Internet. 
+It only distorts the true wishes of the users and potentially creates 
+local ego-power-positions that only cause controversy and in-fights.
