The main positive effect is that it got the Hive turns done. And it is democratic since anybody who wants to express any idea about the game got the chance to express their opinion. The only thing that was not included is spam. What is wrong with that?
Indeed you are right Comrade Oct. 
But I wouldn't be afraid of making such mistakes once and again.
Let me tell you a story in the ancient China. Qin Er Shi, the son of Shi Huang Di of Qin Dynasty was not a bright king. Zhao Gao, the prime minister wanted to replace Er Shi as king. To test the loyalty of the officials, Zhao presented a deer to the king, calling it a horse. Er Shi laughed and rebuked Zhao, saying that it was a deer. Zhao turned towards the officials, asking for their opinion. Most of them looked away from Zhao and did not answer. Some tried to curry favor with Zhao and said it was a horse. There was a small number of officials who told the truth. Zhao remembered all those who favored the king and have them executed.
No matter how powerful he is or how strong he tells his lies, I would never bend in front of somebody who lies. I will never call a deer a horse, even if that means I would be facing harsh accusations from many people, who may or may not know the truth. Yes some may say a life is too precious, and there is no harm done if you just admit that the deer is indeed a horse. But hear me, my dear friends, I will be happy to give up my life, just to hold up the truth.
We can talk about the Hive Shaddow Ministry a hundred times. But trust me, I will never say that it is a mistake. It carried the Hive through high waters. Maniac, if you were there at the time and know the circumstance, I believe you would be with me. When a turn was not done in five days, when people were crying to end the ACDG, I said no. I said that I loved this game and I didn't want it to die. I said to tass, before you and others decide to end the game, let me try. And I tried. I tried to pull people back to the game. I tried to pull jamski, but he was busy. I tried to get kody back, and we decided to set up the shaddow ministry so that we can filter the unnecessary spams out, so that in his limited time before his PhD confirmation, he could still squeeze time to work for the team. I tried to contact everybody who has expressed a little interest in the Hive forum, so that they could come back and get included. When we finally got many people back, I have closed the shaddow ministry because its purpose of carrying the Hive over in its most difficult time has been achieved. Tell me, people, what did I do wrong?
