(44,228 posts)A host who needs an alerter to prove that a thread is off-topic is, again, not much of a Host. In my opinion of course.
And juries should absolutely be used to promote agendas. They're used to promote DU's agenda every time they hide something homophobic, or racist, or anti-Semitic, or for any number of other reasons.
You seem to be forgetting that DU is a partisan website with a specific focus. We don't allow Republicans. We don't allow people that hold certain viewpoints. We don't allow third-party advocacy. We don't allow posters to use right-wing smears against Democrats. We censor opinions and comments all the time.
You think everything should be allowed at DU, and if a poster doesn't like a topic, or a source, or a poster, they can trash the thread or ignore the poster.
In your DU, why would we even have Hosts or juries?
