We could include make hosting more transparent and include input from more members if we posted an open discussion thread, but this would be a bit rude and could even be alerted on and result in a hide.

One GD host recently had a locking statement hidden by a jury, unbelievable: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026184309#post1

So it's really easier to simply trust the hosts. I don't have a problem with an open discussion or a PM discussion about how things are done but the guidelines are pretty clear.

This is a place to discuss ways to move the party in a progressive direction, not to defend the status quo.

The primaries are going to be interesting depending upon who openly declares and is running.

We're sticking to reform, and that might draw some disruptive behavior, and that behavior might lead to blocking.

You want transparency, this thread is a demonstration that the host want it to.
