ASAH Co-Hosts? And how to apply.

Last edited Sat Dec 17, 2011, 07:16 PM - Edit history (1)

If any of you would like to ask the group about serving as a cohost for the forum, please feel free to start a thread. I'll add any additional hosts that the group supports.

The co hosts can:

Pin and Unpin Threads
Lock and Unlock posts
Block Members from posting
Add new hosts

Pretty much all they can't do is delete me.


For those interested: Please note in a group like ASAH there isn't too much need for anything other than pinning or unpinning a thread. You guys are pros at gently guiding someone who comes here posting in error, and there shouldn't really be much need to lock a post, unless someone comes in deliberately to upset our group.

Editing to say that my personal view is that hosts should come from the participating membership. They know us, know the vibe of the forum, and have a feel for the way the group functions. If you are new to the group and would like to host in the future, I encourage you to participate and get to know everyone.

1. How long do co-hosts serve?

Right now, things are kind of slow for me, but once I get closer to opening for that play I'm in, I'm not going to have much time to hang around on DU until it closes in mid-February.

2. You can serve long as you want in Groups. The main forums are time limited

6. I'm not sure that people will see this in here, everyone may have read it already?

Could you start a fresh post and let the group know that you would like to co-host?
