A previous moderator to my group somehow turned off posting to the group? HELP?

Question

there is no place to post on the group and if you mail a post, it is marked not allowed to email posts? do I have to set up a whole new group? she must have had fun, as I set up the groups, she used her moderator status to remove me from some and just mess up things on others...

Answer 1

If you made her a co-owner or a moderator and assigned her the privilege to Remove and Ban members, that means she could remove or ban you even though you were the owner.  There's nothing you can do to gain control of those groups.

If you do not have owner/moderator privileges on the other groups, there's nothing you can do about her turning off posting to those groups.

It's best if you just start a new group and move on.  In the future, if you make a member a moderator, be very cautious when assigning moderator privileges on the new group.     Do not allow that person to change Group Settings and definitely do not allow them to add, remove or ban members.

I have a group myself and no moderators yet, so this is very interesting! I would think if you had more than one moderater, get ahold of one to change the settings and allow you back in too! You may want to contact Yahoo too and maybe they can help. Otherwise sounds like your screwed and chaulk it up to a lesson learned! And I was thinking about getting a moderator, not so sure it's a good idea now! I like things a certain way and don't want anything changed! I also have a backup list printed out of all my members e-mails. I've spent way too much time and have way too many members to start over! It's an adult group and I adhere to Yahoo rules strictly! ex: no profile, no member! etc. I also have several websites too! My advice, do some RESEARCH before you do anything! Good Luck!

You need to TRUST mods, Not just Hand them over it.

Its in there hands,  Good luck & you can always create a nother Group yourself,

Ive helped Tons of people, Being a Tempoary mod, My down fall is i cant spell good, But they trusted me good to set up colors & add photos.

ALSO, CREATE A NEW GROUP & START OVER BY SCRATCH & BAN THAT SO CALLED MOD.
