Judging from the numerous snarky posts that popped up as soon as this group was formed, I think we need to be sure that the hosts have a track record of being pro-Bernie. I don't want it to be an echo chamber, but I also don't want someone who is not a true Bernie supporter to finagle his/her way into a host position.

I've seen several here claiming to be Sanders supporters whose posts clearly demonstrate that is not the case.

I would like to host. Puglover Apr 2015 #1

thanks for getting this started and also for Ichingcarpenter Apr 2015 #5

Exactly. We know who the handful of serial disrupters are Autumn Apr 2015 #17

Hey! What happened to our "Bernie" logos? nm rhett o rick Apr 2015 #35

I got mine, you got yours are we missing one? Autumn Apr 2015 #39

Yes at the bottom. The Big "BERNIE" logo isn't showing up on my computer. rhett o rick Apr 2015 #54

I don't see it either. Agschmid Apr 2015 #58

I see it on your post. Autumn Apr 2015 #63

Interesting. I am using Firefox how about you? nm rhett o rick Apr 2015 #65

I can't see it on Opera either. The link must be bad. nm rhett o rick Apr 2015 #67

Same basic question aspirant Apr 2015 #28

Applied yesterday. L0oniX Apr 2015 #2

Seconded. Agschmid Apr 2015 #4

can you post also on what it means to moderate this group? Ichingcarpenter Apr 2015 #7

Functionally this says it pretty well... Agschmid Apr 2015 #9

Are you saying aspirant Apr 2015 #10

I've always that should be true for all the groups. Agschmid Apr 2015 #11

What's the purpose of a specified group aspirant Apr 2015 #12

Having one host who isn't necessarily on the same side of an issue... Agschmid Apr 2015 #13

The question remains aspirant Apr 2015 #15

I don't agree. Agschmid Apr 2015 #16

I'm missing aspirant Apr 2015 #21

I don't enjoy echo chambers... Agschmid Apr 2015 #30

we have to vote on it as skinner said Ichingcarpenter Apr 2015 #6

I expect this group to work to promote and support Bernie... L0oniX Apr 2015 #40

No we should not become a part of a mud slinging contest between members and candidates. Autumn Apr 2015 #47

Glad you did. It's not a terribly hard thing to do. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #36

I hope we can rise above the others mistakes with group moderation. L0oniX Apr 2015 #44

Agree and, really, the worst thing we can have as top host would be an authoritarian. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #48

We just had someone miss post here. Don't need to jump on that. I've done it too. L0oniX Apr 2015 #56

Ok, so what if a poster comes here & starts saying, I like Bernie BUT RiverLover Apr 2015 #88

I'd be for giving a warning to the poster first. It if continues then act on it. L0oniX Apr 2015 #89

That sounds good. RiverLover Apr 2015 #91

I am one who has said that groups like this should be first and foremost for supporters. TM99 Apr 2015 #3

LOL agreed. Puglover Apr 2015 #8

I agree MissDeeds Apr 2015 #26

I would like to host this group Autumn Apr 2015 #14

Just to clarify,as a voter only with no interest in hosting, aspirant Apr 2015 #18

IMO, supportive of the principles for which Sanders stands. Warren already has a group. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #25

Excellent MissDeeds Apr 2015 #27

NYC, come on aspirant Apr 2015 #33

While supporting Democrats, mods for this group should be devoted to Bernie 1st IMO. L0oniX Apr 2015 #72

I think that hosts can have an interest in more than one candidate. I would like hosts Autumn Apr 2015 #29

Yup. Agschmid Apr 2015 #31

Thank you, so would you, And with my current mobility issues I am here on DU Autumn Apr 2015 #37

I'm good in GDH, I can't do the groups they are too one sided for me. Agschmid Apr 2015 #38

The key is "an interest" aspirant Apr 2015 #50

I like Liz, to me it's not 80% Bernie/20% Liz. It;s Bernie all the way Autumn Apr 2015 #59

I like Warren too ...but Bernie has a better chance of winning 2016 IMO. L0oniX Apr 2015 #64

Bernie for the win. Liz will not run and if she's as smart as I think she is she will support Autumn Apr 2015 #68

How many hosts can a group have? Ichingcarpenter Apr 2015 #19

No limit to number of hosts AFAIK NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #23

Agreed..... daleanime Apr 2015 #20

Exactly. Puglover Apr 2015 #24

Me either. Agschmid Apr 2015 #32

NYC_SKP wants to host this group. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #22

But do you have any experience hosting??? rhett o rick Apr 2015 #34

I like that rule, two hosts before blocking a member. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #41

Let me clarify my thinking on this. rhett o rick Apr 2015 #45

Yup. Agschmid Apr 2015 #46

There should be a way to remove a bad host as well ...just in case. L0oniX Apr 2015 #71

That would be a majority of members or just hosts? aspirant Apr 2015 #82

I would think hosts. L0oniX Apr 2015 #83

Skip was a site mod back on DU2 ...he's qualified. L0oniX Apr 2015 #60

LET'S GET THREE HOSTS VOTED ON NOW...... so we can control this group Ichingcarpenter Apr 2015 #42

L0onix wrote to admins, and then I did, too. It's up to them, we can't make it happen. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #43

no Skinner said we need to vote on it HERE Ichingcarpenter Apr 2015 #49

Yup. Agschmid Apr 2015 #51

Oh, I stand corrected! There are two other groups we created where that did not happen. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #70

Why only 3 aspirant Apr 2015 #73

Too many cooks? Agschmid Apr 2015 #76

A coronation of 3? aspirant Apr 2015 #84

Just doing what I was asked.... Agschmid Apr 2015 #85

We need some to cover late night and early morning. 24/7 is a lot for just 3 hosts. L0oniX Apr 2015 #86

I am a night-owl. TM99 Apr 2015 #99

Poll/Decision must happen here... Agschmid Apr 2015 #52

I see that now. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #74

I'm thinking top three on that poll can be the hosts? Agschmid Apr 2015 #75

I think the title and the poll are fine. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #78

Hides shouldn't disqualify. I don't think lack of stars should either but willing to go rhett o rick Apr 2015 #69

I believe that hides automatically disqualify people? Agschmid Apr 2015 #77

I don't think that applies to Groups. nm rhett o rick Apr 2015 #79

Ok. Agschmid Apr 2015 #80

I think if we vote on a head host the head host can appoint the co hosts. Autumn Apr 2015 #53

i would rather have a tripod of head hosts Ichingcarpenter Apr 2015 #55

+3 L0oniX Apr 2015 #62

top three get the job........ ? Ichingcarpenter Apr 2015 #66

I can post a poll? Agschmid Apr 2015 #57

OK, but just for a head host as Skinner advised. I nominate NYC_SKP. Carry on. nm rhett o rick Apr 2015 #61

I 2nd that. /nt RiverLover Apr 2015 #90

I'm in participating as a "supporting" host if needed. Cosmic Kitten Apr 2015 #81

OK ...but we don't want the Irish! L0oniX Apr 2015 #87

the funniest movie of all time Ichingcarpenter Apr 2015 #92

I would not mind. I don't sleep much, so I can be around during odd hours. merrily Apr 2015 #93
