Re: How much time does it take to manage a group?


Ken KM4NFQ
 

Thank you for your replies Jim and Samuel.

I do not have any experience with Yahoo! Groups.
This is the first Group I have started.
I am a member of several groups, so I know about "Flame Wars" and so forth.
The usual response seems to be for a Moderator to step in say "Take it off-list."

My group will be of the Free variety.
So one of the the things I have done is to limit the size of images to 480x480 (something like that?).
And I have checked the option for old attachments to be deleted when the 1G capacity is reached.
I imagine that does that automatically with nothing required for me.

I have set the New Member approval setting to 3. Why?
It seems that 3 is a good number to dissuade spammers?
Yet, someone who is interested in the Group would not mind 3 moderated approvals.
That is how I am thinking about it now.
I will just have to see how much time it requires.

Time is my only possession. I am retired with more time than money.
But my time is ticking away. Time is a finite resource.
I am still asking myself if monitoring a Group is how I want to spend my remaining time on Earth.

There is somewhat of steep learning curve.
Especially for someone who does not have ANY experience AT ALL with Groups.

Assuming that my Group will be low volume:
What would you recommend for Group settings (for small time investment)?
This is what my Group Settings look like right now:
