well its not really community controlled since every application has to be approved by someone you appointed. The voting process beforehand is a nice touch but its still only by adhering to the rules you set.
To be accepted a person must be invited, receive 3 votes and be approved by an admin.
and I am applauding the process since this will remove a lot of scammers from the process.
Yeah we have the admin part in there to ensure that a minimum quality is met. We may give trusted users this power at some point. For now this is to ensure that malicious people don't just approve anything to get the sweet rewards of voting ;)
