Has anyone seen the list of hosts for this group? Thoughts?

49. But what hierarchy?

It could be Lithos at the top level and all the rest of you equal at the second level and still be a hierarchy.

Or it could be Lithos at the top and the rest of you at descending levels one after the other and also still be a hierarchy.

Or a number of other arrangements with each of you at a specific level. For example, it could be Lithos at top level, BB at second level, and everyone else equal at the third level. And so on.

At least that's the way hierarchy is usually defined in software engineering. It's a tree structure with a single node at the top and then branching one or more times at each level going down. So many different specific structures can fit the definition of a hierarchy.

Maybe Lithos can clarify for us what the specific hierarchy is for our hosts.

Edit to add: It seems that the answer is in this description of hosts that's in the "About this Group" page:

Group Hosts are assigned either by the DU Administrators, or by other Hosts of that group. Group Hosts have the following abilities: 1) They can lock threads which they believe violate the group's stated purpose; 2) they can pin threads to the top of the group; 3) they may completely block out members whom they believe are not adhering to the group's purpose; 4) they may add other members as group Hosts; and 5) they may remove any Host that became a Host after they did (and who is listed below their name on the list below).

Based on that it looks like all hosts have equal powers except for the part about removing another host. So you, BB, can only remove a host who comes below you in the list. Other than that you are an equal to Lithos, at least as the statement reads literally.
