So let's look at an example from a more professional game. Oranges seem to be like Judges in MTG. No change can change the text on a card. A judge can make ruling about some what vuage card text. This mostly just apply to older cards that are not written well (example, time vualt)
So the Judges are part of the understanding of the rules, and texts. But they do not have the power to just change them.
What the oranges on this sight appear to be able to do is just change texts.
If an orange wanted to change the point cost of Galactius by 200, what is the process for stopping them?
Rules change frequently. Don't get bent out of shape about it. Do what I do, throw the unusable figure away, play Avengers. If you can't do that play mtg instead.
Hey, Realik...remember that conversation that you and I had a few weeks back via PM's? THIS THREAD and the way you're behaving is the reason that you catch a lot of the heat that you do. Do with that information what you will.

Well I don't know about anyone else, but I chuckled heartily

You're asking the wrong question. The question is not, "what is the process for stopping volunteers from making a change?" The question is "what is the process by which the volunteers/wizkids MAKE a change?"
And the answer is that typically if we see something that we think isn't working as intended, or aren't sure what the intent is, we convey that to Sean (TechG0D, the rules arbitrator), so that he can take it to Wizkids. It also might happen that the discussion starts on the other end, with someone from WK suggesting a change to something and wanting our opinion on what would be affected or how to word it. Again, things tend to get passed from the designers/developers through Sean to us, and then back again. There might be multiple back and forth exchanges depending on the topic.
But the key part to all of this is that none of the deputies can directly make a change without it going through Wizkids. So there really is no way we can arbitrarily make Galactus 200 points less or anything silly like that. I imagine that if we tried to insert something like that in the PG, it would get removed, and WK would not be very happy with whoever tried to do it.

You need to take out the rule book, dance around it seven times backwards under a new moon, then burn it and scatter the ashes in a cloverfield.

I am without anger or acusatation asking very questions. Any anger here is not coming from me. I don't even care about the errata that happened. I just want to know how the rules is this game are governed. It appears, that information is not really known.
I am not here shouting about a rule change. I am here asking how the rules are made and governed.

Sir, are you trying to tell me that a response of "that is bull ####" to what was obviously a joking post indicates that the poster is, in fact, angry? I find that notion utterly preposterous. Good day to you.

Thanks for the post. That is what i wanted to know. I assumed the oranges were respected rule guru's, and had input but not power. Seems you are confirming that is the case?

That's the case with the rules deputies.

Can you cite an example of this? If any of your examples are from the Player's Guide, that text has been reviewed and approved by WizKids. If any example comes from the "Final Word" section, that's also a case where the Deputies have gone to WizKids and asked for their input on what was intended with the figures.
In the main rules section, you will occasionally see them say, "GD says that is what was intended, but it does technically say otherwise."
