Yes, I was a moderator for nearly three years. It's true that moderators were expected to put their biases aside when participating in the consensus process. It wasn't always easy!

I'd be happy to host here, although I would need to do this in the evenings as I might be going back to work in a week (have been unemployed for the last two months).

However, I also think you would make a good host. From what I saw over the last several days, you have the ability to be unbiased in your decisions...

Does this group need a permanent host? [View all] Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 OP

If we cannot decide on a permanent host, we'll need to ask an admin to unsticky the threads on top Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #1

Not in my opinion. nt Old and In the Way Dec 2011 #2

I think there are functions that only Hosts can do that are beneficial. Make7 Dec 2011 #3

Yes, there should be hosts for this group Lithos Dec 2011 #14

I think this is the consensus. Anyone who feels otherwise, please speak up. Bolo Boffin Dec 2011 #16

My two cents... I suggest Bolo and Spooked Ohio Joe Dec 2011 #17

I'd be worried about assigning someone whose DU2 posts frequently clearly violated DU3's TOS. nt greyl Dec 2011 #20

Come on... Bolo was never that bad... Ohio Joe Dec 2011 #25

Probably not a good idea. canoeist52 Dec 2011 #18
