The 5-member panel, trying to come to some sort of consensus through pm's and emails is a logistical nightmare. It would frustrate everybody, especially the 5 who are reading and pm'ing and waiting for responses, etc. Most importantly, there would never be enough time to reach a conclusion.

Not that it matters anymore with what's already been decided, but since when have watchdogs PMed and emailed each other to discuss close calls, haven't we always posted our thoughts on it and voted in public?

As for the current system, personally I think it's just stupid to have one or two watchdogs decide everything. I mean just because something barely got a majority of the votes doesn't mean it's the right choice. I mean there's been countless times when the people say about close calls, or choices that get a majority of votes "why do so many people think this person was CP, this person was clearly OTT, read the guidelines people", or something like that. Tone is another good example of where the majority isn't always right, a lot of people seem to be giving out static neutrals too often when there is tone lately (I mentioned this in the other thread), giving static neutral the majority.

Besides that, sometimes there's episodes where you watch it the first time and go "[name] was clearly CPP", and then later on a lot of good strong arguments for that person really being OTTP come out, after a bunch of edgicers have already voted, causing the early voters to heavily go one way, while the later voters heavily go another way.

Basically what I'm trying to say here is the majority isn't always right, and just because someone voted one doesn't mean that they still stand by that decision by the time that close calls are debated. We should have more then one watchdog making all of the decisions.
