Showing Original Post only (View all)Welcome. Before we get rocking and rolling, pehaps we should address some things. [View all]
I think this group will have the potential to expose people to various important topics that otherwise get buried in the main forums, or clutter the I/P forum, where some people are "afraid" to post. ( ) I propose we (those interested in this group) start off with guidelines about what is and itsn't acceptable, as well as discussing hosts. It may take a few days for people to get the word and join the group (don't forget to subscribe) and settle in. Since we don't have polling features yet, we are going to have to be creative. I am willing to take lead, for now, but would love a small core group so we can get this group up and running and not have it start off in chaos. Therefore, I propose...
- Does the group need a host(s)? If so, are you willing to host? Are you willing to be lead host?
- The forum purpose is light, does it need to be expanded?
- Other than discussions of I/P (the Israeli-Palestinian conflict), are their other things that should be limited or exluded by an expanded SOP?
- Is it necessary to say that bigotry is not allowed in this forum and use appropriate examples?
If you feel other questions need to be posed, post them or PM me and i will add them. I will highlight them, if I can remember how, that way they will stand out and people can address any new items without having to have 913 threads just about SOP and such.
Thanks!

I think you made a great point of something that should be addressed in SOP.

I really wish I could participate, but I think this other group will be taking up my time. :-)
