Thank you all for your faith in making me host. EDITED

Last edited Fri May 1, 2015, 09:58 AM - Edit history (3)

I missed the voting, a car took out the power on our little rural road but when it got back on I had a lovely automated mail in my mail box telling me I am a host of this wonderful group.
I have appointed some hosts and will appoint more and since I don't know what order the vote was in, please forgive me if I screwed up. Now lets all get to work and decide how we want to use this group to get Bernie Sanders elected President in 2016!

These are the current Hosts of this group:

hierarchy Hosts

1 Autumn
2 L0oniX
3 Puglover
4 Agschmid
5 cali
6 smokey nj
7 NYC_SKP
8 TM99
9 marym625

I added a couple more that had requested the admins consider them but they were not included in the voting. These hosts may, overtime change.

So far this group is growing and vibrant. Just what we needed.

I think you need to have a good discussion with all the hosts.
and get back to the group ..............trolling should be an issue and a lot of good ideas were discussed today and that gets harder to control unless there are rules............and standards..

congrats to you my friend............. you will do well.

This is the FIRST place to start to support Bernie: getting people registered as Democrats so they can vote in primaries and caucuses. Bernie is going to attract a lot of new people so we have to help them out. If he wins the primary, he can win the general.

Glad you're going to be Fearless Leader! I'm sure we want this group to be more open, inclusive and democratic than those that seem to expel as many members as survive to actively participate. Frankly, we're going to need to have a better reputation than those other brands if we hope to attract enough talent to make a difference.

For that reason, I hope that we can minimal rules and adhere to DU rules and jury procedures for running out the odd heretics and removing the occasional full-grown Mountain Troll in the attic. Actually, let's save the heretics, for you never know when they may be useful. In that spirit, I wish you a long and successful term as Bernie Sanders Forum Moderator.

Everyone, go to your windows, open them, and shout out, "Enough is Enough!"

and have a small block list. However there are some that cannot be reasoned with no matter how hard one tries and I have asked a host to make the first and hopefully the last block in this group because of that persons actions in this group. You are so right on the heretics.

Cheers for that.

Please ban the trolls and disruptors as fast as you can. There is no room for negativity in the BERNIE SANDERS GROUP!!! Let them take their drama ramma to GD.

Cheers!!!

But like Smokie said in the other thread , there are more "subtle" ones.
I, we, have faith in you to silence the disruptors.

I have stated I do NOT want to have a block list as long as some of our groups on DU. However I for one (and I believe my fellow hosts would agree) will not tolerate:

1. Snark aimed either directly or tacitly against Bernie or group members.

2. Shit stirring.

Honestly I moderated DU 2 for 3 years. I have a pretty good radar. And Autumn is absolutely committed to administrating this group to make it as comfortable for Senator Sanders supporters as it can be.

I have followed many of your posts in the Populist Reform group and agree that you will make an excellent host.

I just received the email to be another host of this group, and I appreciate the vote of confidence. I look forward to being of service as I may.
