Bruce, that's a good point and I hadn't thought about it. I had this exact thing happen in one of my groups (the "Do you have an amazon account" ploy). I put the subscriber on moderation until she could fix the problem.

I don't think banning is necessary, though, unless the person ends up needing to get a new email address.

Thanks,
Pete

Not much you can do now, I think.

You can remove private replies. Change "Remove Other Reply Options". This stops future emails from being "replied all". Make sure your settings are for reply to group.

See this on message policies:
/helpcenter/gettingstarted/1/step-4-customize-the-group-s-settings/group-settings

You can lock or set individual messages to Moderate. This would stop further replies to this specific message.
Open the message and use the dropdown menu in the down arrow. And of course, you can delete the topic.

Yes. Go to the member's record, scroll to Posting Privileges, and select?Override: not allowed to post.
I suggest banning it.?/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-members/banning-and-unbanning-members?

If someone's email address is hacked, the hacker can LOG IN as that person (via "email me a link"), visit the group, read messages online, gain access to files and other group content, etc. SImply turning off their ability to post is an insufficient remedy (IMO).

Hello I don't think you need to worry about doing anything. Especially if you've already removed the accounting question. I think before doing so, I would've contacted the members of and let them know that their account has been hacked that way they can change their password

i assume they were able to do this via posting to the email address for the group? Which was probably listed in contacts for the hacked account?

Hoping they did not expose or have access to members otherwise. I removed both of the members accounts to be safe?
I was on the site at the time and immediately advised members to not reply directly to it. Put group on moderate also.?

Anything else I need to do ? Do I need to worry about keeping everything in moderate status if I removed the accounts?

Yes, that's the one Duane :-)

In a later thread, the possibility of an [UnClaim] button (on both messages and memberships) was raised.

Re: How to claim a pending message #howto

 

Thank you all for your help.

Malcolm Austen:
I did ask for a [Claim] button - there is one somewhere else, on a pending membership IIRC - but it has never appeared.

Malcom, if you point me to your request I will support it, for what it's worth.
I think that a Claim button on pending messages is needed, not only for reasons of consistency with pending membership, but also because Edit and Claim are two different things and one does not necessarily imply the other.

Best,
Marina

Is there someplace I can change a setting to NOT allow members to edit their post AFTER they have posted it?

Thank you,

Just editing the message will claim it. You don't necessarily need to save it afterwards.

There is no need to actually edit the message, just clicking [Edit] and then [Cancel] will claim it for you.

How to claim a pending message #howto

 

Is there a way to claim a message pending approval?
I an dealing with a problematic message and I wanted to claim it as you can do with pending members. However, it seems that you can either approve, edit, reject or delete a message but not claim it.
Is it so?

Thank you for your help.
Have a nice Sunday,

Not necessarily.? If a person is "unmoderate after x messages" and hasn't reached their quota, you can change the group to moderate all messages and back without changing the number they need to have approved (though any of theirs approved would reduce their count needed).? If new members join, they wouldn't have to get messages approved if you turn off NMM while the moderate all messages is in force, but you can have all messages moderated and also have NMM.? It gets very confusing very quickly with all the options that we've got!

Yes, what else would you expect to happen when switching from 'moderate everything' to 'only moderate new members'?

Re: Is it possible to add custom tags to calendar entries?

Is there a guide to any other calendar features you get after upgrading to premium?
Only what's in the manual, /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/working-with-calendars/adding-calendar-events and /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/working-with-calendars/using-the-rsvp-feature.? If you have a Legacy Basic group, I think you'll already have all the features available.

By "custom tags" I was referring to the ability to add custom key/value pairs to a calendar entry, which would then show up when someone views it, for instance novel fields like "Organizer Fax", "Event Type", "Event Sponsor", etc.
Most, if not all, of that could be put in the Event Information Panel.? If you use RSVP, you can also include a request for additional information from attendees when they are filling in the RSVP form.
