What should be the purpose of this group? [View all]

What would you like to see from this group?
Should there be clear guidelines about what is and is not allowed?
What would each of you like to get from participating in this group?

The idea for this thread is from a comment that GreenPartyVoter left in another thread.

What she's requesting is something that needs to be discussed here, yet never has. What I'd like to see is a number of suggestions from the posters here, both regulars and lurkers, stating what they like, what they don't like, what can be changed, and what they want the future of this group to be. I will read each and every comment and, if we have enough discussion, will post all the suggestions in one place. If we have enough that agree with the suggestion we might be able to incorporate it into this group.

The only thing I've ever asked of this group is that all conversations remain civil, even if the parties involved obviously do not agree with the postings. I hope to keep that one rule in the future but I do believe that we need to have an open discussion on what is expected out of this group.
