Group Guidelines:

This has the following features and options:

  • Can be sent automatically on the first of each month as a message to the group, with an option to include members subscribed via Special Notices Only
  • As each new month is issued, the old one can be automatically deleted from the group (so there aren't several versions there) if you set the #Guidelines hashtag to one month duration. ?You can also set the hashtag to Locked, further down the page on the hashtag definition so that no one can reply to it. ?If the hashtag doesn't exist, it will be created the first time they get sent or you can create it ahead of time to adjust settings.
  • Can be sent automatically to all new group members
  • Can be sent manually by a moderator to a group member at any time, in case the member needs a review of the guidelines
  • Appears under its own "Guidelines" tab at left on the group¡¯s pages, with an option to be visible either by group members only or by the public
