Can we talk about the group rules?

11. While we're on the subject

Can we please have an end to the admonitions to "trash" the Interfaith Group and to avoid going there? If the hosts here want to remind people not to troll other safe havens for things to come back here and trash them about, that's perfectly appropriate (especially since people have been banned from A&A for doing just that), but it really isn't for the hosts here to say what someone who happens to visit and post in this room (among many others) should read or do elsewhere on DU. There are no "members" of A&A, and none of the people who post here aside from the hosts can or should be considered in any way a "representative" of this group or accountable for by the A&A hosts when they post in other groups, and it is not reasonable for any other hosts to act as if they are (and they should be so informed if they complain). This room is not used to organize disruptions elsewhere, and no one goes around wearing tag lines saying "I'm from A&A and I'm here to bother you".

Yes, this may just be intended as friendly advice, but once would suffice for that. After the third or fourth time, it sure starts to sound like something more.
