In the absence of any alternative (i.e anything to change the policy to), it was a vote to scrap the current policy. If you have a vote on "changing" the policy, but present no alternative to change it to, then by default, the vote is on whether to keep the current policy or scrap it in favor of something new and unproposed. I did know what I was voting for, and don't appreciate the insinuation that I voted out of ignorance. The proposal was poorly worded and lacked a clear objective (which several people commented on), but it was coherent enough to know what we were voting on.

As for changing enforcement, all I can do is say (yet again)... if people think the current policy is fine but that the manner in which it is enforced needs work, they need to talk to me about it. I can't fix it if nobody talks to me about it. I even created a forum in which people could raise precisely these kinds of concerns, and ask the admins questions about this kind of stuff.
