Please review this threadfor the initial inputs from members.

The old thread is locked so we can continue the flow of this process.

From the inputs gathered, this small list of host duties was generated:

 1. Mediate conflict 

2. Attempt to generate topic content or stimulating conversation when the group is slow.   

3. Host can delete abuse and violations of the CoC and ToS only. 

4. Host may not block any member.

Are these acceptable guidelines for the time being?

Do we need further refinement or additions?

Note:

The reason behind trying to get these guidelins established is that I will be going out of town for a week as of tomorrow. The group can go along as it is, unhosted, or we can establish these simple guidelines,and vote someone in for a trial run.

inputs?

About manipulation.

Lil,

Did I close the anon thread? No, I will not manipulated. That is the answer.

"I dunno Buck...you might end up eating your words on that one...."

These are not "my" words. These were all suggestions that the community came up with.

This is not my group.

"Just because the "community" suggested it doesn't mean it has to be so...something detrimental like that..we all think it looks good now but when an extreemly disruptive person finally comes in here, you're going to wish you could do something about it..."

This is why these threads are being generated; so we can discuss this type of thing.

Stress the word "trial" run. If it is a total catastrophe, we can remove the host in question and try again.

Sure, I'm with you on that then.  But it's not just a host I'm talking about, it's any member that is acting extreemly disruptive...ie:  bullying, insulting, spamming, etc...

What recourse  is  there  if a  host alters posts? (the title) or  deletes posts altogether?  Referring  to posts  hear  which  meet  the  basic  criteria, no  foul  language, not a  personal  attack  etc?

I encountered  this  in a  one  group  I  was  in, the  topic  was altering of posts.

Best wishes,

Zaphod
