Yes, I understand an admin's opinion may influence others but it's important that we all think for ourselves and stick to our own view of things, unless of course your view is changed after seeing the topic in another way. But really I didn't say anything much different than what AwesomeOrange said. In my opinion, my logic is pretty well thought out: you can't speak for someone else, you can only contribute an idea.

You're the one who kind of took it a different way. There was a specific reason why I didn't say "right or wrong", so that is just your assumption. Yes, I hinted that a lot of the times whatever the admin says goes, because a lot of the times that does happen (usually maintaining to arguments). But I actually made sure that I didn't say the words "right or wrong". There's a big difference between being right or wrong and only having an opinion.

And I know the importance of how people should think for ourselves, and that has been shown on here. I'm not saying that people shouldn't think for themselves because it doesn't really matter. It does matter, but it's just an opinion when it's the admins final say.

Also, that's the whole thing that I said. AwesomeOrange (and I, a bit) were saying that the idea probably wouldn't work and it seems childish (well, that part was more AwesomeOrange than me, but whatever), an it was a back and forth between users on why it would/wouldn't work. But the second that you come on and state your opinion, everyone just backs off and accepts it. I think that's what AwesomeOrange was getting at.

Why does it only seem to matter when an admin says something pertaining to an idea/issue? Oh ok, I understand. I'm not sure why it only seems to matter when an admin says something, all of our opinions should matter. It's just that admins have I guess more control on it and are likely to be reasonable.
