Speedies get looked at by, maybe, three people - the author the the 
article, the tagger, and the deleting admin.  Prod's get possibly 
hundreds of eyes looking at them during prod patrols.

Perhaps not allowing the authors to remove prods might be useful, and a 
{{disputedprod}} tag would be very helpful to add to that.

resounding silence at one point.
