Does GIO offer the ability to have groups un-moderated?? Some of ours on YG were and beginning in 2015 ended up having huge amounts of spam postings that were gross messages.? And if attachment images can be added, it will be a visual shock to for anyone coming across that group.
Yes, they can be unmoderated. But you would have to moderate at least their first message if it is an unrestricted group.

Check out the Spam Control in Settings.
You must choose from among these four options. At least one of these options must be set as a spam-control measure.
?
  • Restricted Membership - Moderators must approve any new subscribers.
  • Announcement Group - Only Owners and Moderators are allowed to post.
  • Moderated - ALL messages are held pending moderator approval before being sent to the group.
  • New Users Moderated - Messages from new subscribers are held pending moderator approval. After the set number of consecutive messages are approved, the subscriber is automatically unmoderated.

If you choose Restricted only, you do not need to moderate ANY messages, if you wish. But you will have to approve new subscribers. There is no Spam Control setting that will allow a new subscriber to join your group without approval and immediately post an unmoderated message.
