"A Florida woman who has been living off the grid has had her home declared 'Unsanitary' and has until March to connect her off-the-grid home to the city water system, or face eviction."

  these guys do all the work

  That's what Dice thought, too. Look how that turned out. The community does the work. The editors are there to facilitate that. Moreover, there's a well-known problem with bias related to speaking order and authority. The first person to speak, or the person speaking from a higher up position in a hierarchy, acts with undue influence on the remainder of any discussion. The Mission Management Team for Columbia thought that was a great strategy.
