On /r/moderatepolitics, our usual practice is a proposal combined with a request for comment thread. We then try to shape the final policy change more or less around what the community wants. But that doesn’t always exactly happen. Sometimes there’s no clear consensus or even just simple majority. Other times, we go against the prevailing opinion because it causes a severe problem. We then convene as a mod team and take a vote.
