What do moderator duties involve?

Question

I am the owner of a yahoo group and wish to ask someone in the group to be a moderator. What are the duties of a moderator and how do they differ from those of the owner of said group.

Answer 1

this is up to you- owners default has total group control-  there are 9 priviledges a moderator can have, set by you. I would not suggest allowing to delete group, making new moderators or editing group settings.

some mods only are there to approve posts and members- to be sure things stay on topic and step in when it's not.

Click Edit Membership.

A little way down, click Change to Moderator.
