Can I as an owner temporarily disable all members from making posts?? I can't seem to find such a setting.? Thanks.

There are a couple of ways that would do that:
1)? Under Spam Control, change the group setting to Announcement-Only Group.? Only owner/mods can post.? Messages via email are rejected and the Reply button is removed online.
2)? Again, under Spam Control, change the Message Moderation to "All messages are moderated".? This would cause all messages to go to the moderation queue, so you'd have to deal with them.

Thank you so much!? I have changed to announcement mode.

I have some users that have posted material that may not be appropriate.? So I stopped posting to give me time to review it and make a decision on how to proceed.? Another question:? Is it possible to temporarily make a message thread "hidden" to users without deleting?? I searched the owner manual without luck.

There is no option to do that. Given that many, if not all, of your members may have received a copy of existing messages by email. I'm not sure what hiding it would achieve. If you wish to stop people adding to an existing topic then you can lock it.

You might want to put those who posted content you don't approve of on permanent
moderation. However, if they post frequently, you'll be doing a lot of reviewing
odf pending posts from them.

Note this assumes that no member has been given permission to override the
group default!

Hold on here. If you switch a group to "all messages moderated", and later switch it back to "new members moderated"... could that make (all) members who are "use group-setting" to become unmoderated?

Yes, what else would you expect to happen when switching from 'moderate everything' to 'only moderate new members'?

Not necessarily.? If a person is "unmoderate after x messages" and hasn't reached their quota, you can change the group to moderate all messages and back without changing the number they need to have approved (though any of theirs approved would reduce their count needed).? If new members join, they wouldn't have to get messages approved if you turn off NMM while the moderate all messages is in force, but you can have all messages moderated and also have NMM.? It gets very confusing very quickly with all the options that we've got!
