Does the Group need/want a host?

41. I think 2 and 3 are interesting..

understand, I amn enthusiastic about the possibilities with this new system. With the gungeon being the massive group it was, the largest group on DU by far iirc, I believe it can be a true view into both sides of the gun issue. It would be too bad to loose any ground and would like to see some initial discussion from everyone here, not about the gun issue, but about the liberal guidelines concerning your point #2 and 3 to impart to the hosts. This, I believe, is what Skinner etal. wish for in designing this revolutionary new forum system. We should all know the rules and have input..I really believe we can reach consensus and should remain open to revising our rules if they result in unintended consequences.

My opinion on your point 2 and 3 is to keep things essentially the way they were on DU2. One ongoing problem on DU2 was bomb throwers. I define a bomb thrower as 1 someone who rarely participates in other peoples threads or even their own, 2. they don't participate on any other groups or forums on DU, 3. they post controversial commentary. There have been posters fitting two of the three for years, on both sides of this issue. I would like to see, maybe, a three strikes rule, three OPs deleted for the same violation over a period of time, say a year, and the person is banned from the group.
