How to change the settings of group.?

Question

to avoid unwanted users posting unwanted messages

Answer 1

management- under group settings click messages- messages and archives (edit)<-- click the edit- 1st column Who can post, select members-

same area-

3rd column Moderation check either new members OR Unmoderated - click save changes-

REMEMBER

this will only affect those who join after this setting change. members now prior to this remain on the previous setting that you had, lets say no moderation.

ALSO

these members stay moderated until you individually reset each one and here's how (this is also how you'd moderate a member who needs it)

locate said member is members list- click edit membership below their ID- Posting Messages: Override: This member's posts are always moderated (Edit) <-- click the edit

next page choose either

* Messages posted by this member are not moderated.

* Messages posted by this member are moderated.

click save changes

Answer 2

Here’s how to moderate messages from new members in an otherwise unmoderated group:

1- Click Management on the left side of any group page.

2- Click Messages in the "Group Settings" section.

3- Click Edit next to "Postings and Archives".

4- Select the New Members button in the "Moderation" column.

5- Click Save Changes. Now go on and moderate!

This setting means that new members to the group will require moderation for all messages they post until you change their setting to either "Use current group message posting setting" or "Messages by this member are not moderated" (the former is recommended).

This change must be made individually and explicitly for each member. There’s no set time period for membership at which point a member will automatically stop being treated as a "new" member. They’re "new" in this context until you explicitly change their setting.

An individual user's settings can be changed from either the Member Page or by clicking Edit next to "New messages posted by this member are moderated", which is in the upper-right corner of a pending message page (just above the "Edit", "Approve", "Delete", "Reject" buttons).
