As users are no longer able to veto Conclusions (a situation I personally find regrettable), seven of the eight questions posed in the FAQ under Dialog Conclusions are completely irrelevant.

Shorter deadlines for some of the Purses and more frequent new Purse topics would probably help to limit boredom and increase more participation, both voting and story submissions. Maybe that would mean that the prizes have to be smaller so we can have more diverse topics going at any given time. I'd be down for that!

I was reading some stories from some great writers here on Democrasay, I just wish some 5 extra votes for those who do have any left after three days. I noticed we all enjoy receiving votes and we should also be generous in giving back what we receive. Blessings are in the giving of votes so writers can see and judge their stories better.

Currently there is no rhyme or reason with regards to how Purse winners are announced/notified and prizes distributed.

This will eleviate confusion and save the DemocraSay editors from having to answer redundant feedback questions.
