legomymalfoy was elected to the LiveJournal Advisory Board to represent the interests of Live Journal users. Promptly upon being elected she closed off all means of users communicating with her. You cannot ask her questions. You cannot make suggestions. She has also not posted anything on votes she has cast, meeting minutes, or any other way of determining she is representing us in the way users really want.Therefore I am doing this informal no confidence vote. Please vote how you feel about our current representation and how you feel your representative should interact with the community.
