I understand, and remember, this is just for the sake of discussion, but OTOH:

1. If someone wouldn't get any votes, it might not be such a good idea for me to appoint them, either. And IMO the vote totals wouldn't have to be public.

2. Deputies do need to be able to accept that people may "vote against" them after they're appointed.

3. Their actions might be more likely to be accepted if they're elected.

Hmm, that's true. And other people email me privately, too. And I could apply some sort of 3-complaint rule. And an email system would be easier to set up...

I guess when I did Eating and Politics I forgot that a Complaints board had also been suggested... :-) I suppose this doesn't obviate that...
