That is slightly sarcastic, by the way, though only slightly. The problem demonstrates why people who say "if you want a house, join a FC' are clueless. Control over the primary housing feature - decorating - is generally locked tight under officer control. Members aren't allowed to participate.

I suspect that SE won't change it for a couple of reasons. First, there's probably a code limitation. Second, it's the only way the general members have to participate in decorating their FC house.
That is a pretty weak argument, considering that we can already set permissions to place/remove furniture (even specific types of "furniture" aka retainers), to dye furniture, to use the orchestrion, to even enter the building in the first place - just to mention a few.

"Its their house, too" - sure, but right now I can block them from entering the house alltogether. Eating the food on display or taking the fishs out of the fishtank is not "participating in decorating". And if SE wanted every FC-member to have a default say in how the FC-house looks, they wouldnt haven given us the permission settings in the first place.
They've shown that they're able to implement permission settings like this and that they're willing to do so - maybe the code can only handle so many permission settings, who knows. But your second argument is just nonsense, given the permission settings we already have.
