Moderator 1:

I am surprised by your resistance to debating/discussing the value/role of moderators.

I certainly think discussing this kind of stuff is within the spirit of the FT community...I think people are commenting here because they care, not out of any ill-will.

As I mentioned in my recent Siberia post, I don't blame the Moderators for enforcing the rules. I think the rules themselves go too far....and should be debated.

If I owned FT, I would invite feedback as a way to learn and continually improve. But I don't, so if the owners don't want feedback on these issues, then let us know.

They seem to have sought feedback like this in the past, and I suspect the current changes themselves are the result of interpreting feedback like this from the community?
