If you create guidelines for blocking which are in harmony with the majority opinion, I would be supportive of whatever decision you made in any particular instance, and would not see a need for a Community Council, which might be quite cumbersome in practice.I don't foresee asking the community to vote on the blocking policy. Given that, would you see a need for a Community Council? One downside of participatory democracy is it can be cumbersome.
