Thanks for the info Shal.? As I said my groups are new, as i am currently moving out of yahoo groups due to problems with the photo album section which is important for one of the groups due to it having a photo contest.
But now I do ask one question of you, can one set the photos so that all photos must first be approved by a moderator without the need to moderate messages?

Barbara Jean,
Kathryn: go to settings and then go to spam control.? I think by default the settings is for new users to be moderated.? Just uncheck that box and that should make it where no user is moderated.
That will not affect any current members, they have already been set to NuM (New User Moderated) in the Posting Privileges of their membership page.
Also, the Spam Control section of your group's settings requires that at least one of those boxes be checked. For a classmates group like Kathryn's Restricted Membership may be appropriate, but otherwise NuM may be the best option for the group.
One thing I don't know how to do (and hope I don't ever have to do) is to put an individual on moderated status.

You can do it by opening the member's page from the Members list, and scrolling to the bottom. In the Posting Privileges section chose Override: moderated then Save the change.
You can do it also directly on the Members list, using the checkboxes and Actions menu, which is handy if you need to do more than one at a time.
