Message to all hosts

We are currently in the process of planning changes to the way the Hosts forum works.

In the meantime, please remember that your job is to help DU run smoothly, not create unnecessary drama.

In some ways this job is not easy. We give you an SOP to enforce, but we also give you discretion to use your own judgment. Disagreement is expected. But in other ways, the job is easy: all you are trying to do is decide whether something should be locked or not.

There is no reason for threads in this forum to have 50, 60, 70 or more replies, and go on for multiple days, complete with long subthreads full of personal attacks and accusations of bias. It is just not necessary.

It may take us some time to complete the planned changes to the Hosts forum. In the meantime we expect all hosts to be able to work together as a team and not cause additional problems.

I will cha cha, waltz, break dance and limbo... Phentex Jul 2014 #8

I think that had a big hand in it, but I also think his apparently deliberate Sheldon Cooper Jul 2014 #9

Oh, by editing a post to include the name of a DUer? BainsBane Jul 2014 #10

LOL ismnotwasm Jul 2014 #20

Even though many of his harshest critics BainsBane Jul 2014 #22

I don't have access to that group BainsBane Jul 2014 #37

Here you go... Agschmid Jul 2014 #38

Good BainsBane Jul 2014 #39

I think it will be a move away from hosts completely, but that's just a guess. Agschmid Jul 2014 #40

Those posts someone copied in my thread BainsBane Jul 2014 #41

One of the problems is that 20 hosts are not participating. DURHAM D Jul 2014 #47

Perhaps, but for the right reasons F4lconF16 Jul 2014 #43

Thanks! BainsBane Jul 2014 #46

"Mean girl" here, checking in. Sheldon Cooper Jul 2014 #34

It's certainly something. redqueen Jul 2014 #35

Interesting. I thought it was about VC and it prompted me to write the support OP. stevenleser Jul 2014 #49

Oh, I wouldn't think so BainsBane Jul 2014 #50

Edited to incl link -I wonder now if we are talking about the same OP or if there are more than one? stevenleser Jul 2014 #51

That's it. Consensus is it's about me BainsBane Jul 2014 #63

It all is so bizarre I dont even know what to say. stevenleser Jul 2014 #69

I guess I'm dense BainsBane Jul 2014 #54

Yep, it was really over the top. Sheldon Cooper Jul 2014 #55

I wonder what set it off? BainsBane Jul 2014 #56

It started with the swarm thread, where she and a few others Sheldon Cooper Jul 2014 #57

I don't know for sure BainsBane Jul 2014 #60

I finally figured out what her dryer comment to hrmustin was about BainsBane Jul 2014 #61
