The problem isn't that people have to make changes. The problem is that the people who 'lose' pointless debates like these will never accept the result. Let's picture the two scenarios. Option 1: Autocracy. Option 2: Democracy. I already can't agree with Mikado on everything where tweet translation is concerned. He took a degree course in linguistics. I'm one of the principal translators in a relatively major scanlation group. Both of us have spent literally years learning Japanese. You will see both of our names in past event/update tweet threads in the tweet translation section if you care to look. If the two of us who go this far into Japanese can't agree on something, people who only learnt a little bit of Japanese here and there (or god forbid, who paste Japanese terms into Google and expect its answer to be accurate) have an even lower chance of agreeing on a translation.
 * 1) The first person who creates a page, or the tweet translator, or the mods/admins decide on a translation for a new term.
 * 2) People aren't happy with the decision.
 * 3) The complaints never end.
 * 1) The first person who creates a page, or the tweet translator, or the mods/admins decide on an interim translation for a new term.
 * 2) A discussion on wikia forum on this thread ensues.
 * 3) Either a mod/admin decides based on the discussion result OR (more democratically) a poll is used to determine the result by sheer popularity alone.
 * 4) People aren't happy with the decision.
 * 5) The complaints never end.

If people will abide by a decision put to vote, then there's a point conducting a vote. Since historically people on this wikia have never actually abided by the decisions made by votes (and contest it even after the poll is finalised) doing this is just a waste of everyone's time.
