I am calling for an election for new hosts

[Violet_Crumble]

172. Has Neoma been in touch with any of you hosts?

I sent her a PM last night expressing my concern, as she'd initially contacted me last week asking for my opinions on how to settle things down, and I found it strange that she didn't answer my latest PM, but had time to pop in here and lock a thread that was critical of what she'd done yesterday. I've been reading stuff about her sharing PMs of members of this group with non-hosts, and not that mine had anything I wouldn't own publicly, but I'm concerned that my exchange with her which she solicited has been shared with non-hosts...

I agree that tossing everything hostwise because one's behaved inappropriately isn't the way to go. But I have a nomination for a co-host, and I don't care if they replace an existing host or are an additional one. I'm going to check with them first to see if they're willing before I nominate them in this thread as a co-host...

btw, not that I could make sense of much of the bickering about how this groups hosts communicate, but have you considered using the Hosts forum? As there's been stuff dragged from this group into H&M to stir up trouble and there's a lot of interest in the group from people who aren't part of it, you could do what another safe haven group did which was start their thread off by saying it was only for group members, though given some seem to think posting one post of flamebait makes them a member of this group, I'd say it was only for the Feminists hosts and say it's an internal issue that needs to be sorted. I'd say the vast majority of hosts of other groups and forums would have no problems at all in respecting yr wishes and letting you guys work it out on yr own.
