Keeping it part of the conversation

Sadly, I found the blacklist to be one of the most useful features of Kudoz. The literally thousands of questions some of the askers have accumulated strongly indicate that it (what does 'it' here mean, anyone?) is the proper place for them. What remains is the question why the administrators have not tagged this supposedly helpful bit of bilingual data as 'Non-PRO'.

"This might not be as too serious as you might think"

Do not make a fool of yourself. Repost the whole thing otherwise it is absolutely unprofessional - writing with such banal mistakes. If you think it is enough to seem to be professional - it is not. Two clicks, dear colleague. Copy, delete the answer and repost. Keep your standards. Keep the KudoZ spirit.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LEWISTON, IDAHO, met in a Regular
meeting on Monday, June 14, 2021, at the Lewiston City Library, 411 D Street.
Mayor Collins called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
---
Councilor Miller stated she was impressed by the Valley Boys and Girls
Club presentation and feels there is a lack of understanding as to what is
available to youth in the community. If kids are looking for things to do, the
Boys and Girls Club have great programs and camps available. There are a lot
of events taking place, so it is important to keep talking about them. As long
as the message continues, people will know about everything that’s offered.
Lewiston Transit is offering kids free rides again this summer and the Library
offers book clubs and activities for the youth weekly. She said she appreciates
everyone keeping it a part of the conversation and feels that it will help to keep
the youth in the community involved, which will feed into our work force in
the future.

To all colleagues:
Some 15+ years ago KudoZ was a scene where you got real help with explanations; it was a venue to exchange our views and knowledge.
I think there are some grammar questions that should not be asked if you consider yourself a professional translator.

Во фразе "Keeping it part of the conversation": it означает "commitment "?
What a question is that?

The word it shall refer to a noun in the previous sentence. For example:
Would you like some more potatoes?
No, I don't like it.

I am not specialised in English but the Faculty of Philology of the Voronezh State University and later in Riga, docent Fomina Tamara Kirillovna (may God gives her peace) taught me (us) the most important thing: you shall be always motivated and never tired to search for answers. You learn a lot from your own mistakes. Learn to embrace your own challenges.

In order to be capable of explaining the role of the word 'it' in a sentence, I simply searched on the internet.

The article has a mark "Elementary level". So - no excuse - this is an elementary level question.

Where are our core values left?
