Not receiving notifications for messages needing moderation

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I'm the owner/moderator of a group recently migrated from Yahoo!.

I was unpleasantly surprised to find that I had been unaware for several days of several messages that were in the Pending queue awaiting moderation.

I have not received any notifications that these messages were awaiting moderation.?

This is despite the fact that:
1) Under?/g/GROUP_NAME/editsub ? Notifications, I _DO_ have "Email when there are messages needing approval" checked.

2) I do receive many other notifications, such as:
  • Subscriber has left¡­
  • New Subscriber To¡­
  • Subscriber was removed for marking a message as spam
  • Subscriber has rejoined¡­
According to?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Approving---moderating-a-message , I should have received an email that will say:

Hello,
A message was sent to the group from joeblow@... that needs to be approved.
View this message online [clickable]
¡­

(However, I don't know how the subject line is worded. When I say I haven't received these notifications, I mean that I've looked at every message from?[email protected] without finding any such notification.)

What would lead me to receive all these other types of notifications, but not receive notifications of messages requiring moderation?

I have looked in my spam filter.

Thanks!
Jim
Re: Migrated from Yahoo, how to best stop old group posts?

 

There has been quite a bit of conversation about this on the Yahoo GMF list. You might want to check there. The people there will be in a better position to help you. My impression is that the Moderation controls have been removed from Yahoo groups as part of the recent "improvements".

From the Yahoo help pages ()

"On the group's main page, select Management | Control Panel. Click Moderation and make your selection for both messages and photos."

On that page in my groups, there is no Moderation tab / link. Screenshot:

Re: Migrated from Yahoo, how to best stop old group posts?

 

I think they removed that option when they made the changes to the website in mid-December.

When we wanted to disable posting on our Yahoo group, I ended up going through and changing each user's permission to prevent posting. It was a hassle, but that was the only way I could figure out to accomplish it.

Fortunately, we only had 1500 members, so it didn't take *too* long.

Hope this helps,

Just thought if your owner hasn't given you sufficient permissions, you might like to see this wiki page about possibilities -?

Not sure where you mean by the management console.?

You could check in Admin, Activity. Your owner has to have given you that permission, but it is really necessary for moderation.
Look in Moderator Activity to see if the message was approved. (If it was rejected, you would get a message though. If the owner or moderator deleted it, you would not get an email about it.)
Check Message Activity as well.

You can also check in your own subscription - Subscription (side menu). Email delivery history. You will see if you are bouncing.

Re: display name

 

That is what I thought based on looking through the settings.

I appreciate the response.? Have a good one...

No.? The site will use any name associated with the email address (as most people do) if it finds one.? If not, it will use the first part of the email address.? As an example, say a user sends email from John Smith <[email protected]>.? The site will initial use John Smith as the display name.? If that weren't included, it would use jsmith@.? Members can always change this later if they want, so it's not good to depend on it.

It's a pain to just go thru each one to delete.
Also, if you know they're all 'junk', on the draft page you can select all, click Discard, and verify - 3 clicks.

I just tested in the digest from Beta. To click like, you need to click to view / reply online - at least I don't see any other way to click Like. It isn't in the message footer. And clicking to reply online generates a draft.
Is it full featured digest you are using?

Why even go online?? As mentioned earlier, you can Like via email by replying to the message in question.

What I don't like about the "Like" button is that it will get people to stop responding and just hit the button.

I suspect this post was tongue-in-cheek; while at the same time, a good illustration of what can result if the "like" feature is disabled.

Re: yG Privacy Dashboard download #yahooprivacydashboard #ioimportpl

 

That was exactly the problem.? I was thinking the script, during execution, was checking the status of the user on Groups.io, but realized it is checking the user status as shown in the memberlist.csv file.? I hadn't retrieved a new file, yet.? Once I did that, the problem was resolved.

Thank you.

A typo of DRAFT I think, based on his following sentence.

I did a search of the GMF archive for "DFAT", and this thread is the only one that contains "DFAT".? Nor is it defined in the wiki.? So, what is "DFAT"?
