Moderation: Well obviously deal with trolls and also we are not here to have others come in and dump anti Bernie rants. If someone doesn't agree on some point made by Bernie then they should be willing to accept debate over it. If it becomes obvious that a poster is only here to post anti Bernie rants irregardless of merit then it should be dealt with accordingly. I think members should make a reasonable effort to post factual information and I think most will. Although I believe we are not here to provide a base to attack other candidates, Bernie may be on the attack on various issues including another candidate. Certainly we can and should discuss those attacks. I don't think we should become a part of a mud slinging contest between members here. Save that for GD.
Moderators can assist in keeping the group focused although I think we are all here to focus on getting Bernie elected. We're not here to discuss other outside issues unless it pertains to Bernie. I don't think we care about American Idol here.
While mods have the power to ban in extreme situations I hope that it is never necessary to do so. I don't want to have a power hungry nanny mod or extreme troll hunter in here. When we pin a post our collected expectations for the group we can start expecting everyone to follow those expectations.
