Welcome to the Groupe Francophone de DU

[Skinner]

The Groupe Francophone de DU welcomes all those who want to communicate in French, whether they are native French speakers or students of French, French or foreigner. Discussions on any subject will be permitted.

Please note that members are expected to follow DU rules, even when posting in a foreign language. To help the moderators enforce the rules, Democratic Underground has instituted a system of Bilingual Monitors.

Bilingual Monitors
The DU Administrators have asked for two DU members to act as special "Bilingual Monitors" for the group. These Bilingual Monitors are not DU moderators, and they do not have access to any of the moderator features, nor do they have acces to the private moderator forum.

The job of the Bilingual Monitors is to read the various posts in the group and report any that may be problematic. When they see a problem post, they need to hit alert and provide the moderators with a basic translation of the post so the moderators can decide whether any action is necessary.

The following individuals have volunteered as Bilingual Monitors for the Group:

Ellen Forradalom
BurtWorm
