Hi Herbert, Did you see the options for hashtags

… 1) Messages can be tagged with new hashtags… Messages from members can only be tagged with existing hashtags, … 2) … - otherwise the message is bounced 3) … - new hashtags will be removed <<<<< I believe options 2 and 3 mean that members can only use existing hashtags, new hashtags can only be added by moderators/owners. This would mean that any new hashtag must be requested from the group moderators, something you tried to avoid. It‘s a bit tedious, but would help to avoid a flood of hashtags. Maybe an additional option would help - saying messages with new hashtags will be moderated? Could be useful for groups like your‘s where hashtags are mandatory, and option 3 wouldn‘t work. Kind regards Thomas
