Laura scanned a JM interview with a section about Joss pushing Willow/Tara on the network. I can't paste it cuz it's not text, but it's a third of the way down the right column.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Always Anti-fascist!
He gives good interview. And, Go, Joss!(probably easier to decide when you're descended from TV "royalty" and not Jo Schmuck like me, but still cool.)

They read boards for general feel, like "Dawn is bugging people" but not for specific plot choices as the lead time is too long to allow for it--plus, playing "what if" in story meetingsis one of the most fun parts of the job and everyone wants their own ideas in there.
Plus, may I say the commentary for the Veruca episode, which I watched last night, is fabulous and much much fun.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Fandom tends to have such a diverse set of opinions on any given character or plot point, I'm amazed that the writers can sift through and get a sense of what general audience response is. I mean, there were people out there who thought Ben was a great character.

Plus, giving fans what they (say they) want = bad idea, in general.

Totally. My favorite line.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So where do you think the obvious examples were of the writers responding to the boards?
Dr. Angleman and the Polgara demon. Both Bronzers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Responding? Or acknowledging?

I think it's a bit of both.
