He needs to ask the community though. If a majority disagree with his decision, then he is de facto powerless.

This is all rather charming and interesting, but totally out of context. I have exercised no "dictatorial force" and I always ask the community about everything. In the ongoing userbox wars, I think I have been admirably constrained in my actions, even for me.
