8. I wonder if some would feel uncomfortable having Campaign Ads here in OWS Forum

I know it makes me uncomfortable. Since OWS is "non-partisan" it would seem to defy the principle of the movement to start promoting candidates.

Would think "Politics 2012" would be a good place to pin post for them, though. Or, perhaps start a group forum to support them.

A Proposition to the Hosts: Pin this Alan Grayson thread to top of page: [View all] NYC_SKP Mar 2012 OP

This group doesn't have hosts yet pinboy3niner Mar 2012 #1

I think this is a really good idea. Zorra Mar 2012 #2

We have no hosts... ellisonz Mar 2012 #3

Great. Chan790 Mar 2012 #4

I'm leaning that way too... ellisonz Mar 2012 #5

I love that we don't need a host, except to do things like pin threads! NYC_SKP Mar 2012 #6

I guess the alternative to pinning would be bumping the thread in question and keeping it high up? freshwest Apr 2012 #7

Ellison, NYC, I'm sorry for the delay in the hosting guidelines you drafted Leopolds Ghost Apr 2012 #11

Thanks! NYC_SKP Apr 2012 #12

Support a temperature check. ellisonz Apr 2012 #14

I'll get on it after Easter holiday, sorry for the delay. This discussion helps. Leopolds Ghost Apr 2012 #16

Actually that might mean later, because Game of Thrones is on tonight. Leopolds Ghost Apr 2012 #17

Sorry this makes you feel uncomfortable! Zorra Apr 2012 #9

It's up to what everyone else thinks here, though. KoKo Apr 2012 #10

Yeh, but Zorra Apr 2012 #15

Good points... It was initially the "myths" list that prompted my suggestion. NYC_SKP Apr 2012 #13
