You're welcome 😁 , I'm glad it helped. Unfortunately there's no "DU, a user's guide" that I know of, that has progree Jul 9 #5

Actually, they are the hosts of the main forums which are LBN, Editorials and Other Articles, General Discussion, The Way Forward, the DU Lounge and DU Community Help (this here forum). Sounds like a huge workload, I don't understand why it's set up that way.

The "About Forum" has the above names with their links

If you want to alert on a particular post in LBN that you think violates the Statement of Purpose for the LBN forum, just alert on it, and choose the "Don't violate a forum or group's Statement of Purpose" one, and it will give you the option of stating what the problem is. It will be sent to all the hosts, as I understand it, and they probably have an internal procedure to decide who investigates and so on.

information all in one place on the moderation system and other things that come up like in this forum. It's in bits and pieces all over the place ... well a big chunk is in the " terms of service" at the bottom of every DU page, but exactly what happens when violating one or the other, (MIRT, alerts, juries, hosts, admin, FFRs, PPRs ... isn't written down in one place that I know of).
