Yeah, but what if 5 other people want to know why virtual templeted methods aren't available? I mean for someone that has just come to the language and thinks they have the solution to all problems, they could easily come to the conclusion that it is because templeted methods aren't virtual. That said, I don't think anyone would have a problem with a reasonable alternative that provides some administration. To tell you the truth, I think the benefit for having the moderation is that it would give people a roll, considering that I don't think many would work to moderate the DIPs on the wiki. Also a system built to do this does look better to those new.
