Creating Hashtags #hashtags

 

A member of my group - not a moderator - just added several hashtags when he posted. Yet only moderators are allowed to create hashtags. Am I missing something? Or finding a bug?
 

There is a difference between creating and using hashtags. Hashtags can be created by Moderators only or members, depending on Owner / Moderator level settings. Similarly hashtags may be used by Moderators only or members, again depending on Owner / Moderator level settings.

If your Moderators have set up hashtags for members to use then you will find the option of adding them when starting a New Topic; there is a drop - down list of those that have been made available to you. The member of your group has done no more than use permitted hashtags created by one of your Moderators.

Not a bug...

I'n sorry if i wasn't clear....

The member used several non-existent hashtags. Those tags?were then added to the list of available hashtags. I deleted them, so I'm not sure if other members could access them, too.

It is entirely possible to create a hashtag by simply including one in the subject line of an emailed message. However, if the person involved was not a Moderator and you have this functionality restricted to Moderators and above in your group settings (see Message Policies), I would report it to [email protected] as a bug.

Hope this helps,

I have submitted a bug report on this today. Currently users can create new hashtags via email even if the group is set to only Moderators can create. FYI
