If the community at large has changes they'd like to see in the rulebook approach your GM, any relevant department head, or any member of Head Office. We have MORE than enough space.The Union currently relies, mostly, on leaks of the proposed rules. We, otherwise, have no idea what is and whas is not proposed. This makes it super hard for us to propose rules.
That is not a vindication or opinion on the union or providing some level of vote to the general member base. Its an acknowledgement that the union/member base voting ideas came on the heels of a six (and maybe more) season low in rule proposals. I respect and understand that the general member base of the league does not possess direct votes but there are still ways to influence proceedings in rules summits, and one major indicator (not the only, but one we can look at) of that is rule quantity.
Also the plan of the union is for the players to have a say in rules that affect US players.
It's just super sad to see that we players shouldn't have a say in whats happening in the league. The only times we can move anything as players is if we start a giant shitstorm (see Trivia / Predictions some seasons ago).
Giving the playerbase a unified voice would make a lot of things clearer and easier.
