Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi, I posted directly from the site, and my message is still not showing up.. It is hard to stay in on conversations with a delay - anyone else experience this before?! Hoping to get a word in sometime!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 My apologies, Nicole. Somehow I missed the request for posting. I went to the website and approved it --- and it should be posted now. I approve messages from my email box and sometimes they 'stack' upon one another in gmail, looking like one message when they are two or three. So, I missed it. I don't mind switching our group settings to unmoderated, but we do receive a fair amount of 'spam' and 'advertising' that I weed out before sending messages along to the group. I think it helps to keep everyone happier when they don't have to read all the 'tangents' that sometimes get sent in. I'm willing to take advice from the group on this, though. It's important to me that we keep this group viable and useful. I visit many groups that have been SO taken over by spammers that the group has had to move to a new site and start over. For us this would be difficult, as our recipe files have taken hours of work and would not be easy to move. Enjoy a wonderful day!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 It's really easy for us to take for granted how the moderators volunteer to keep things going since the moderation is invisible to most of us! So thank you, LaDonna, for doing that for us. Sally On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 12:16 PM, ilovetocookvegan2 < gracioushospitality wrote: > My apologies, Nicole. Somehow I missed the request for posting.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi, just in case this helps with this particular problem, I used to be a moderator of a group and what we did was to moderate everyone until their first post, then change their status to unmoderated.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 LaDonna, There is another setting that should keep out spammers while making less work for you as well as fewer delays. It allows moderation only of new members, then you can switch them to unmoderated once you're sure they're not spammers. That's the setting I have on my group and it works very nicely.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi Nicole, I have that problem as well when on line. It could be a glitch with gmail. For some reason I cannot read my posts. They show up in the digest, but not when I am online responding in a newsgroup. Others who have gmail have had problems in a couple of other newsgroups I belong to, too. I just get the digest now, not sure what others do. Julie , " Nicole " <gallaghermom wrote: > > Hi, > I posted directly from the site, and my message is still not > showing up..
