I'm the host of the philosophy group now. It's not a hard job. You just keep an eye out for users who don't follow the groups statement of purpose and you lock their thread if they do. The host can also block a user from the group but that's probably not going to come up since only Buttigeig people are allowed to post. But say one of our people decides to trash our candidate, you can lock their thread and if they don't stop trashing our candidate or stop breaking TOS I suppose the host could block them.

The other big thing is that the host can install other hosts to help out. The host can also remove a host who is under them. The top host is top dog.

Host need to regularly keep watch on what's going on so it's nice to have help... as long as they can be trusted not to abuse the position.

One other thing, you can only host if you have no hides and you're a star member too.
