about posting something off-topic (or in my case, off topic AND off-color), the others can just let us know and the person can self-delete.

If we get someone who's mean, like that guy who was terrorizing us for a while, THEN we can get a Host/ess and block him/her, never letting that person darken our doorstep again.

My opinion, only -- looking forward to seeing what the others have to say.

I know the Forums are different than the Groups, but already it seems like the hosts of various Forums have taken on a new "job" with this added responsibility.

Granted, zillions more visit the Forums out there than the JBSG little patch of land, but I don't foresee anyone disrupting in here, and even if there's an off-topic post, we don't have to be as diligent about keeping the place pristine, if that makes any sense.

So for now, don't think we NEED one. Like to hear what others think about this. And of course, if anyone WANTS to do it, I'd be happy with any one of you -- or all of you!
