When changing setting from fully moderated to new members only does it affect existing members status?

Question

With a large group, if the posting setting is changed from fully moderated to 'new members only' does it affect does it change the status of existing membership? i.e. does an existing fully moderated member become unmoderated by the setting change?

Answer 1

it should not change unless your mod who helps you with the group..if it did change then you would have to manual change each person back to moderated

Answer 2

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.
