Showing Original Post only (View all)Is anyone up for asking admin to appoint a couple of us as hosts of the UK group? [View all]
I would see it as a very occasional job only - if there were any DUers who had a pattern of posts designed to disrupt rather than discuss, and both hosts agreed a block was justified, then they'd do it. They could also lock completely off-topic threads, and maybe pin threads it's useful for anyone - regular or visitor - to see quickly (eg a pinned referendum thread might be an idea in the next couple of months).
Anyone up for that? I think most of us would be suitable and could work with the others, whatever our precise ideological inclinations ...

Yeah, like I said, I'm sanguine about the idea if a couple of people are willing to do it.

I thought I'd wait at least until Tuesday lunchtime, since it's been a holiday weekend

Well, you and I have disagreed in the past, sometimes at some length, but it's always been civil.

Great - I think it's a good idea that people from various points on the political spectrum are hosts
