9. I wonder if there's a way to rig juries

so that alerts in the Feminist group would be handled by juries made up of members of that group.

As you indicated, alerts will draw jurors from anywhere, who are judging posts in a forum that to some extent has its own language. Or at least it has very specific definitions for certain words. No way jurors are going to learn the language, not from a few posts.

Then, because some jurors made a "wrong" decision, the arguments are brought up in H&M, complete with more links back to the Feminist forum, compounding the problem.

I don't know what to make of "closed" or "protected" forums, but if we're going to have them, the software should support/enforce the closure.

There isn't any way to do what you suggest. laconicsax Feb 2012 #19

I don't think that is necessary. All groups should uphold DU community standards, imo. yardwork Feb 2012 #28

Wouldn't that be using the Help & Meta forum as this group's trash heap? UnrepentantLiberal Feb 2012 #15

no. it would be used to address issues we have on du. and i think that is absolutely the intent seabeyond Feb 2012 #16

It would be using Help & Meta to stage toxic flame wars you'd rather not have in this forum. UnrepentantLiberal Feb 2012 #17

it would eb using meta as intended to address the issues at du instead of the forum seabeyond Feb 2012 #18

we are being "nice ladies" and not even warning them. the poster felt the need to take it to META seabeyond Feb 2012 #21

Since when do you get to decide who has "no fucking business in this forum"? LeftyMom Feb 2012 #22

they are not talking about feminist issues. they are breaking the SOP rules. seabeyond Feb 2012 #23

Discussing how the group is run is certainly on-topic. LeftyMom Feb 2012 #24
