On the need for hosts [View all]

Being this is the first group I've ever petitioned the admins to have made or have been involved in, I'm not sure how to have hosts appointed but I have a message into the admins to quickly learn this. If any member of the group knows, let me know.

I'll be more than happy to host, solo for a while if necessary, to clean out the gun trolls who've already come in. I have no desire to be the only host long term but also have no issue taking on anyone who is attempting to subvert or undermine the purpose of this forum. I don't care if someone thinks the SOP was worded vaguely. We're not in a court room. The original team of DUers who pushed for this group know the intended purpose here and we'll administer the group based on that.

I think that once Skinner appoints a host, then that host can add other hosts. Ptah Mar 2013 #1

That's correct. Robb Mar 2013 #4

Also the order other hosts are added determines who the main host will be if the first host retires Ptah Mar 2013 #5

Probably an overkill, you're right. Robb Mar 2013 #6

What I didn't consider, when I commented, was that you were Ptah Mar 2013 #9
