Sounds like a pretty democratic way to run things: If you don't like something, you should resign in favor of someone who is not so offended/concerned/bothered/etc.
I don't understand the choice of the word "democratic" in this instance, but yes, resigning from a job if you don't like a certain aspect of the work required is a very logical solution. This is especially true in volunteer work where there is no economic downside to offering such a resignation.
If, for instance, it was decided that all TalkBoard members were required to show a photo avatar, and I decided that I didn't want to do that, then my best choice would be to resign and give way to someone who had no such reservation.
You are correct that there is a FlyerTalk photo gallery, but it is very poorly organized and does not serve the purpose of identifying individual members. We did have such a photo gallery way back in the very beginning of FlyerTalk and it may even have been alphabetical, but if those photos still exist I can't find them.
Having personal ID photos will go a long way toward helping us know, remember and understand one another better.
