Hosts of forums discuss banning individuals from forums.

What did you think hosts do?

Perhaps you can explain to me how doing that privately is not nice, while doing it publicly (WHICH THE LGBT GROUP HOSTS DID IN THE HOSTS FORUM) is perfectly charming?

You're not the only one with screenshots.

There were discussions of banning three individuals, I recall. At least one or two of them were then banned. By at least majority vote of the hosts. They were banned for VIOLATING THE SoP OF THE GROUP.

Anybody you'd like to ban? Just tell Neoma. She'll be happy to do it for you. She'll be happy to do just about anything some people want, from what I can tell. Does somebody actually think she came up with the idea of removing me as co-host / banning me from posting all by her lonesome?

Frankly, if I were still a host iverglas Feb 2012 #11

ROFL The empressof all Feb 2012 #12

Don't agree with a week break but empresses post was nasty Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #19

I'm curious. Have u ever posted about feminism in this group? Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #28

As I stated in another discussion, I'd like to see some reasonable ground rules for a safe and LeftyMom Feb 2012 #33

did you really iverglas Feb 2012 #41

As I said the last time you asked, I do believe several more were lost to thread/subthread deletions LeftyMom Feb 2012 #46

if you are a disruptor, and not a member and regular user of the group, you do. seabeyond Feb 2012 #52

yeah iverglas Feb 2012 #53

So you haven't posted about feminism in this group Violet_Crumble Feb 2012 #49

we understand that as we particpated in host communication, neoma gave people attacking our forum seabeyond Feb 2012 #30

the forum isn't just the 4/5 of you who are hosts La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #31

how do the LGBT hosts communicate? iverglas Feb 2012 #34

i KNOW that the hosts make decisions between each other. why pretend otherwise? seabeyond Feb 2012 #40

FWIW, I got the link from two people. Neither of them is Neoma. LeftyMom Feb 2012 #35

i too got it from someone who is not Neoma La Lioness Priyanka Feb 2012 #38

and I'll bet you've asked where all these people got the link, right? iverglas Feb 2012 #43

why would i be surprised that you did not get it directly from neoma. nt seabeyond Feb 2012 #42

Just to be clear... The empressof all Feb 2012 #39

are you telling me in all these forums and groups, the hosts have the discussion amongst the members seabeyond Feb 2012 #44

clear about what? iverglas Feb 2012 #47

No one is attacking our forum The empressof all Feb 2012 #54

when a poster comes in and does no more than attack members and call them out, seabeyond Feb 2012 #58

I'm curious. Lisa D Feb 2012 #59

Post removed Post removed Feb 2012 #24

I didn't set up the hosts forum on DU, but I haven't said anything there I won't own. LeftyMom Feb 2012 #27

excuse me iverglas Feb 2012 #29

Why do you keep bringing up the LGBT hosts? LeftyMom Feb 2012 #37

Gosh, I wonder iverglas Feb 2012 #50

You mean pointing out that some of the posters in this group were transphobes AND obvious socks? LeftyMom Feb 2012 #56

in an effort for transparency, here is what I posted in the MIRt forum maddezmom Feb 2012 #45

I refer you to post 50 iverglas Feb 2012 #51

I looked at 50 and it doesn't speak to my post at all maddezmom Feb 2012 #57
