20. Great. Only one rule concerns me...

Apr 2019

All DU members can browse all Democratic candidate groups. All DU members may read, recommend, or alert on posts in any candidate groups.

So if there is a very effective writer, who posts regularly in one of the candidates groups, and who also is critical of one or more of the other candidates but does it within the accepted standards WITHIN THE GROUP, even if a little salty, your rule allows a vindictive supporter from another group to target perhaps a popular contributor within that group and shut them down. Or at least make their lives miserable.

Shouldn't the moderator and members of a particular group have some weight in determining who is shut out of their group instead of those decisions resting with the majority who are not supporters?
