From the About This Group Tab (Explains the group's intent & host abilities)

Thought I'd post this in case people are still getting used to the forum and haven't had a chance to check out the about group tag:

Statement of Purpose

Positively explore issues having to do with Astrology, metaphysics & spirituality, homeopathy/alternative medicine and healing, Ascension, and other subjects having to do with holistic physical and spiritual growth & traditions.

Hosts

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).

To get locked out of any group. Drinking, smoking, swearing, falling down, acting like an ass, mocking other folks POV. I'll pull it back together, somehow.

so I may be in trouble in the C&B group.

I honestly think the blocking option will just protect the group from someone who is truly just being an asshat and deliberately disrespectful. Hopefully it will never need to be used.
