A suggestion for live TV show blogs that we do... Cspan, Fav shows, press

[cyberpj]

conf's, political talk shows, state of the unions, and so on and so on...

Instead of always looking in either GD or GDP for a running thread of commentary - could we designate GD as the "approved" place for that? (And how do we keept that knowlege available to newcomers?)

Or - create a top level - TV RUNNING COMMENTARY FORUM so whenever's there's something HOT happening we all know where to go to see the commentary?

Just a thought.

And I'll just bet there's already a TV forum and it's just not used that way enough, huh?

Huge Newsgroup/forum/thread/blog type sites are HARD. It's HARD WERRRK.....

3. How to Suggest a DU Group

One of the best things about DU Groups is that members have the ability to suggest new groups to the Administrators of Democratic Underground. If you wish to suggest a group, please follow this procedure:

1. Start one discussion thread in the forum of your choice to tell people about your idea for a DU Group.

2. In that thread, you must get responses from at least ten DU members who agree to be active participants in the suggested DU Group. All ten members to respond must have donor stars.

3. In that thread, members must agree on a proposed mission statement for the DU Group.

4. When enough members have signed on to join the group and have agreed on a proposed mission statement, one member must officially suggest the DU Group to a DU Administrator (Skinner, EarlG, or Elad), by sending an email. Please be sure to include a link to the thread where members have discussed the proposed Group.

5. The Administrators will consider the request and make a decision. The Administrators will either 1) Accept the Group as it is proposed, 2) Deny the Group outright, or 3) Ask for changes to the Group or its mission statement which would be necessary for its approval.

6. Once the suggested Group has been accepted by the Administrators, the Administrators will create a new DU Group in the "DU Groups" Category forum, and pin the mission statement of that Group to the top of that Group's forum.

If you are considering a DU Group on a controversial topic, the Administrators would appreciate if you contacted us before collecting your ten members, so we may discuss any sensitive issues. This courtesy will increase the chance that your Group is approved. Also, please be aware that proposed Groups that are redundant with existing DU Forums are unlikely to be approved.
