	If you need to put your group temporarily on moderation it's important to restore the group to New Member Moderation as quickly as possible. For some bizarre reason, known only to Yahoo each new member who joins during the phase of Full Moderation will, due to this Yahoo peculiarity, have slipped through the net and be 'unmoderated'(!) So if your group does need to be fully moderated for a time it would be prudent to pop all recently joined members back on moderation.
