Question about moderated messages

Dani wennberg
 

?Hi there, I co-own a paint shop pro list that has a "war" the first weekend of every month. Well, we want everyone to be able to pre-load their shares to be "let go" manually?throughout the NEXT war all month. My question is, is this possible? Let's say I want to pre-load today for a war that starts the 1st weekend in november and just let those shares sit and wait needing approval. Can I do that or will the messages vanish from the group? So many of us lose being able to share as much as we would like do to the 40 emails in 30 mins loop ban. Thanks for reading.

Dani -- If I understand you correctly, I believe it is possible.

The default behavior is that any messages left in the Pending queue for more than two weeks are automatically deleted. However, as a Moderator/Owner you can override that timeout by "claiming" the messages. You "claim" a pending?message?by clicking the Edit button. Even if you subsequently cancel the edit, you've still claimed it.??

Such "claimed" messages will remain in Pending indefinitely until you or another Moderator further processes them. In your case, you would open your Pending queue on November 1 and approve them all at once.

So many of us lose being able to share as much as we would like [due] to the 40 emails in 30 mins loop ban.
I have no idea what you might mean by this.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Ah, I see now (Ref:?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/2356142).?

I'm seeing a message "claimed" by another Moderator that I am unable to delete or reject.? I try repeatedly, but nothing happens.? Any idea why that is, or what's happening?

There is a wiki page about moderation that has this:
?
Claimed messages: ?If you ?open a message to moderate, a Claimed tag with your name will appear.
?
You can edit the message and then save it to look again after an edit.?
You complete the approval / moderation of a message by clicking save and approve.
?
No one can approve or reject a claimed pending message by email, but working on the web the claim only gives other moderators a warning - it doesn't actually prevent other moderators from "jumping your claim".
?
This is why it is unnecessary to have a way to remove the claim - if you become unable to ultimately approve or delete/reject the pending message, another moderator can step in and do it for you. Hopefully that's an infrequent occurrence.
