I always looked at it like the US Government:

Community Director: Executive Branch
Moderators: Judicial Branch
TalkBoard: Legislative Branch

Strange analogy as the "legislative branch" of FT has almost zero powers. And it certainly cannot pass any "laws" that "judicial branch" or the "executive branch" must follow.

TB is a lot more like the Ministry of Silly Walks.

PS: yes, I did vote.

TB is just a way to make beneficial use of surplus energy of unpaid volunteers. FT would be fine without TB, but TB has been helpful and, most importantly, Carol likes it. So there.

Oh BS, so there . TB serves a function & has absolutely nada to do w/ energy of unpaid volunteers. The 'unpaid volunteers' are the thousands of folk who post information to FT in the various forums. 'Nuf said.

FWIW - the 3 branches of gov't aren't that relevant to TB in my mind. I'd go more w/ oliver's description

Cheers.

That is outside of their control. However, they could recommend to close the TalkBoard Topics Forum if you propose it.

How would we ever live without knowing who voted, abstained or waited until the end to vote?
