We discussed this a bit on IRC, and feedback seemed positive, so I'll comment here as well. I don't think having multiple advocates solves anything; if the problem is that you have a large pool of people acting as poor advocates, then requiring them to get *two* bad advocates is only slightly more challenging than getting one. It would be better if we could have clear guidelines for advocates, to cover the gap between what AMs are expecting of incoming NMs and who advocates are actually advocating; and if necessary, to disqualify certain DDs from advocating if they consistently abuse the system by ignoring these guidelines.
