In reply to the discussion: Host duties: [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)set things up. i received no advice. so, i like this thread. it is not that anyone was doing anything sneaky or nefarious. the thing about the outside forum, is the link is up and you will find it was just basic conversation on blocking a couple disruptors. it really is not a big deal.
but i was reading this thread last night and i really appreciate it. this forum is for all of us. personally, i feel we all have a say to run it. when i blocked creedog it was not even my feeling he should be blocked but a couple host suggested it and three regulars. they are the ones that made the decision because it is there environment. when i woke in the morning to the fifth person to suggest a block, i did it. adn had no issue. enough people had spoken out.
i have no problems at all, when this mess is settled, having a thread discussion of exactly how we are doing this. i like the idea. i dont like power (blocking, locking) with vague. it think it is a good idea to have visible guidelines.
one of the issue i was having prior to saturday "to do" and pming hosts about, is our lack of coherent policy on blocking and other expectations. suggesting us discuss it. doing it in pm was very hard. so a site was suggested so we could knock ideas back and forth and get stuff set up.
remember, no one has had much time in this position.
but i like better, the idea as a community, discussing this stuff back and forth, and coming up with conclusion.
i love this thread and suggestions.
this is what i was looking for in my thread in host forum
