I want to approve messages before they are posted. What settings should I have?

Question

I've never owned a group before.

Answer 1

management- under group setting click messages- Posting and Archives (Edit) <-- click edit- 3rd column Moderation- check choice (new members or moderate) click save changes

if you already have members you want moderated, this change will not affect them, and if at one time you want to unmoderate, you have to do it per member-

locate member- under their ID click edit memebrship- bottom next page Posting Messages:    Override: This member's posts are always moderated (Edit) <-- click edit- select moderate or not moderate- click save changes

Answer 2

You should "moderate" your group. Here is how you can change it:

1. Go to the main page of your group.

2. From the list on the left hand side, choose "management"

3. Under group settings click on "membership" and / or "messages"

4. You can change / edit these as restricted / moderated for your group.
