Group hosts are allowed to talk to eachother pm or some other way to discuss sensitive issues that might cause more harm being discussed out in the open.
There are ways to discuss concerns about other hosts without divulging private conversation behind their back to unknown posters, for reasons that are not transparent.
I guess we could ask for full transparency of all the emails neoma sent to non hosts about this issue, cause she is a host and by golly everything ought to be made public, right? We deserve to know, right??
Well, I don't really think she could because at this moment in time, I wouldn't believe she put out there. It could be easily manipulated.
About Group Hosts
Group Hosts perform a similar role to forum Hosts, but they have additional powers. 1) They can lock threads which they believe violate their group's stated purpose; 2) they can pin threads to the top of their group; 3) they can block out members whom they believe are not adhering to their group's purpose; 4) they can make other members Hosts of their group; and 5) they can remove any Host of their group that became a Host after they did.
If a group already has Hosts assigned, members who wish to become a Host must contact one of the current Hosts. Current Hosts may select any other member to become a Host, without restrictions. If a group does not have any Hosts assigned, members who wish to become a Host of that group must contact an Administrator for approval. Before assigning a Host, the Administrators may post a thread in the group asking for member feedback.
Groups are not required to have any Hosts assigned. If no Hosts are assigned, then nobody will enforce the group's Statement of Purpose.

In the end a trust was breached. That is a fact. People thought they were having private conversations, and human decency dictates you don't do what Neoma did.
