This is easy to game. Just find a situation where dropping the work of the hundreds of people is easy, but restoring it is orders of magnitude more difficult. Drop their work and then claim a new "consensus" because it isn't restored.

That works best when you're an admin. Then you can threaten to block anybody who restores the links... then, once everybody has either backed off out of fear, or been blocked, you and your friends can say that there's "consensus" to not link to the site in question, and use this "fact" in future policy debates.
