people to stop responding and just hit the button.

I like the "Like" button (or replying with "+1").
It allows me to show I'm in favor of an idea, without sending another tediously redundant 'me too' post that contributes no new information.

OK, figured it out on my own.? No help needed.

We have setup an automated email that goes out to our old YG daily. This has helped GREATLY to stop the postings over there and people have then joined GroupsIO over here.

I have looked in my spam filter.

I looked at the MX record for jim-ratliff.name, and it looks like you're
using FastMail. Check your Backscatter spam settings [1]. If it's set to
discard, then the moderations messages aren't making it to you. The way that
sends messages needing moderator approval triggers FastMail's
backscatter filter, which is separate from it's spam filter.

If you've been getting a bunch of backscatter spam and don't want to change
the setting from discard, you can use a bit of custom Sieve code (under
Rules in settings) [2] to move the moderation messages before the
backscatter discard rule kicks in.

Put something like this before the "3. Sieve generated for spam protection"
section.

# -- begin Sieve code --

# moderation messages get identified as backscatter by FastMail.
# This runs before the backscatter rule and stops processing, so they end up
# in the right folder.
if allof(
?????address :is ["from"] ["[email protected]"]
???, header :matches :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" ["Subject"] ["Message Approval Needed*"]
??) {
???# Adjust this folder path as needed.
???fileinto "INBOX.Lists.Mod";
???stop;
}

# -- end Sieve code --
