Well, some general issues here, even if small:

- So how can we have the discussion... We've had so many discussions without telling our mods what to do and the rules haven't changed. So?

- ...follow the established model of annual threads... I've been around for so many years and I really don't understand what is meant by "annual threads". As for big threads, I'd really like to know why and how many FTers actually read all 150 previous posts in this thread to determine whether there was a really good deal a few years back on a given itin.

- ...if we prefer moderators... How can we establish what "we" prefer?

- ...to check deals... Is it up to "us" to determine what the mods' tasks are?

Well, it seems that the wind of change is not blowing in a direction I like. As someone who contributed quite a bit to the wiki in the past, I will certainly stop doing so, so I wonder how those with absolute powers intend to motivate the people who they think should do the work for them when they alienate them by deleting their work nilly willy. Is that a mod's job these days? How do you take ownership of something when you have no say???

Now feel free to go ahead and block me. Not sure I'd lose much.
