How do we unmoderate ourselves?


 

It is really irritating that all of my posts are moderated and I am the group owner. There is an action that says ¡°approve and unmoderate¡± and I use it each time and it never unmoderates me.

Does it hate me??


 

Have you tried going to your own listing in Admin in your group, to Members, to your own name, then scrolling down for Posting Privileges on your record? Be sure to save.

Randi,

the group owner.
As far as message moderation goes there's no difference between an owner/mod or any other member. You have to look to the Posting Privileges of your subscription, and the group's Moderation setting to determine why your messages are moderated.

There is an action that says ¡°approve and unmoderate¡± and I
use it each time and it never unmoderates me.
I believe that function changes your Posting Privilege to "Use Group Moderation Setting". But that will still result in your messages being moderated if your group has the "Moderated" box checked. The function is intended for use with groups with the "New Users Moderated" box checked, not the "Moderated" box.

If it is your intent that all (or the vast majority) of your group members be moderated at all times then checking the "Moderated" box is correct, and to override that for yourself choose "Override: not moderated" at the bottom of your membership page (click on your row in the Members or Moderators list).

If, on the other hand, you expect to unmoderate most members after they prove themselves then choose "New Users Moderated" instead of "Moderated" for the group setting. With that choice you can let members be automatically unmoderated after a set number of approved messages, or manually unmoderate them using the "Approve and Unmoderate" button on their next pending message.
