Re: stop the posts!!


 

Brook,

I deleted the topic but reply to the post are still coming in. Is
there anyway to stop this?
1) If you haven't already, go to your group's Settings page and click the Moderated checkbox.

Until the topic peters out you'll have to manually approve good messages, and reject or delete those on this bad topic, but it will put a stop to the on-going back-and-forth, which should eventually cause people to quit replying.

2) Post your own reply to this topic, telling members that the topic is "closed" (or words to that effect) and not to be discussed further. If your email interface put a quote of the message you replied to in your reply, delete that. Leave only your own text.

This could be problematic if the Subject line itself contains a obscenity or other text that you really can't bear to repeat. In that case make up your own Subject text, but what follows won't apply.

Optionally:

3) Go to the group's web pages and mark the topic as "Moderated" or "Locked" (your choice). Those options will be found in the More menu under your message - which should now be the only message in this topic. Assuming you've deleted or rejected the rest.

4) You may now remove the check from the Moderated box in your group's settings (if the group doesn't normally moderate messages). Messages in other topics will post normally, but those in reply to the forbidden topic will now be sent to your Pending folder, or rejected ("bounced") outright.
