How about a history lesson for any newbies (and not so new "lurkers" like me) that might be following this thread ?

I've see it posted many times that " the TB has no purview over moderation " and I have to ask;
Why was it set up that way ?

Since FT is no longer owned by a single person, is there any posibility, that in the future, the TB can influence "The Powers That Be" to change it ?

I'm trying to understand the reasons, past and present, for the structure of FT, where the elected body seems to have very limited control over what effects the people that elected them and the "moderators serve at the pleasure of" the appointed Community Director.

I know that it's not my playground, so I have to play by the rules. But to me it seems too much like " I'm the parent and I said so ! ".

Thanks,
Mych
