How come I don't get my group messages for hours after they have been sent?

Question

The group I am in gets several messages a day, but I don't get the messages in my mailbox for several hours. Does anyone know if I need to change a setting or something.

Answer 1

group messages usually have to be approved by a group moderator. this is to make sure what is posted isn't inappropriate or anything.

Answer 2

this sounds like typical yahoo , remember that there are thousands of groups sending out thousands of messages and delays in receiving are common.

Thats if you mean after the messages have been approved by the moderator

Answer 3

It's a moderated forum.  The posts go through some sort of screening process for offensive language and spam.  I'm pretty sure it's an automated process; I can't imagine there have people actually reading them, but I could be wrong (what a horrible job!  Sitting all day screening people's posts!)

Answer 4

The moderators didn't approve your post and ppl didn't see them for a few hours
