Question

What is a group moderator? what are they supposed to do?

Answer 1

If you’re the list owner or a moderator with the ability to add, remove, and change moderator privileges, then you can assign additional privileges to one of your co-moderators.

To assign moderator privileges, locate and click the member's email address in the Moderators section. The Moderator Privileges form is located below the Member profile. You can set the following options:

*Approve pending messages and photos

Gives the moderator the right to approve pending messages and photos.

*Approve pending members

Gives the moderator the right to approve pending membership requests.

*Invite and add members

Gives the moderator the right to invite people to the group.

*Remove members and reset bouncing members

Gives the moderator the ability to unsubscribe members and to reset bouncing members.

*Ban members

Gives the moderator the right to ban members from the group.

*Add, remove, and change moderator privileges

Gives the moderator to make members moderators or to change the privileges of existing moderators.

Note: A very important power that should be granted only to people you trust.

*Set auto-send options for files

Gives the moderator the power to send automatic messages to the group (like the welcome message).

*Change group settings

Gives the moderator the power to change settings for the group. Another very important power that should be granted carefully.

*Delete this group

Gives the moderator the power to permanently delete the group. Since this can only be reversed by Yahoo! Customer Support (and only within 30 days of a deletion), another power that should be granted very carefully.

To remove all moderator privileges, click Remove Moderator. This reverts the member to a regular subscription.
