I have a small private group that we've been posting to for a couple
of weeks. Today the group is suddenly requiring each post to be
approved -- even my own posts! I've checked our group settings, and
nothing has been changed. Our "Groups Settings" says, " Posts to this
group do not require approval from the moderators." Is this just a
temporary glitch?

Leslie,

Today the group is suddenly requiring each post to be approved -- even
my own posts!

There are a few things that might cause posting to be moderated.

I've checked our group settings, and nothing has been changed. Our
"Groups Settings" says, "Posts to this group do not require approval
from the moderators."

That's the first thing.

Next, it is possible for individual members (even group owners) to have their Posting Privileges set to override that group policy, and require moderation. If and how that got changed for you and the other people trying to post is another question.

Next, it is possible for a Hashtag to require that any posts (New topics or replies) using that hashtag will be moderated. Try posting with no hashtags to test this one.

Next, it is possible for a Topic to require that any replies be moderated. Try posting a new topic to test this one.

Next, if your group allows non-subscribers to post, all messages from non-subscribers will be moderated. To test this make sure you are posting from a subscribed email address.

Then there are the off-the-wall possibilities. You may have posted to a sub-group that requires moderation when you thought you were posting to the main group, or otherwise were not posting to the group you thought you were.

We have no non-subscribers posting, and no sub-groups.

So that leaves hashtags and some topics that might require moderation. What would make that happen? Is it something I did, a setting I inadvertently clicked? Where would I even check for that?

Also, you wrote,

That could be causing this issue? Is there something about the "Posts to this group do not require approval from the moderators" that causes posts to be moderated?

Wow! I clicked the arrow on the Groups.IO website for a Topic, and, sure enough, one of the options on the drop-down menu was "unmoderate topic." Who knew? LOL!

This happened to me on a list where I am an owner when I inadvertently sent a post from an email address other than the one on which I receive mail from the list.?? It asked me to approve my own post.? Putting it in as an alias solved the problem for me.

It looks like you may have accidentally moderated that topic.? Also, double check Settings > Message Policies to make sure you haven't checked the box for "Automatically Moderate Topics Older Than x days" (where x is a number).? That would cause a Topic to automatically become moderated after that number of days.
