Yes, I WOULD change the rules if it was about Sam. People pointed out a flaw in the featured article system, and I'm gonna try to eliminate that flaw.

As I explained before restarting the blog, democracy is fine as long as there is a shift in majority. When people aren't satisfied with the result of their vote, they are just going to vote for something else the next time, and almost everyone's ideas can be included in the results sometime.

Here, we have two unchanging blocks, so the vote will ALWAYS be the same. In order to be fair and treat the minority as equal to the majority, the system has to be changed, for example by adding a random factor to the choice that doesn't depend on anyone's likes.

And how was Sam being discriminated?
