There are giant voids in the hierarchy between new and established users and between long term editors and the people above. These are mostly sustained by overworking people which in turn is caused by the crappy software.

That there are rules, eh I mean guidelines, is somewhat of a joke without means to enforce them. Disagreements across the void are more often than not resolved by ignoring the lower ranking editor. The concept of consensus[sic] is truly a joke with no clear path forwards. Money doesn't solve anything apparently.
