Yahoo Groups -- large audience, but limited number of people who can post?

Question

I'm thinking of using Yahoo Groups but have a question about postings. I have a group of 200 users, but want to limit the ability to post to 10 users. Can this be done?

Answer 1

You can adjust message posting settings.  But as far as I know you have to do this to each of the members of your group one by one.

You can change a person's message posting setting to be different than the general group setting. (Choose from Moderated, Unmoderated, Cannot Post.)The most common reason to change this setting is to make an individual's message posts moderated due to off-topic/high-volume posting. You can make one member's posts moderated without affecting the other members' messages. You can always change this setting once you feel the moderated member deserves to be unmoderated again.

To change this setting:

1. Click Edit Membership under the member’s name, then click Edit next to the "Posting Messages: Override" setting at the very bottom of the page.

2. Choose the setting you want, then click Save Changes.

Answer 2

Another way that you could accomplish this would be to make the 10 people group moderators.  Then set the group to only moderators can post messages.
