Hello,
Hello,


Every now and then an unmoderated member posts a message which is against the Membership Guidelines of $groupname. It's usually an honest mistake because the member just didn't realise it was against the rules.

When a member who is not moderated posts something, it immediately goes out to all the members who receive individual emails. All the mods can do at that point is to delete the message from the community site, and put the poster on moderation to prevent future errors by that member.

So, if you receive a message that is outside of the communities mission (pet ads for breeders, for sale/trade, seeking jobs, personals, or anything illegal or adult), you might want to check the community site to see if the message has been deleted.

One more thing... please don't comment about these inappropriate messages to the whole list or else we will also have to put you on moderation, too.

After an unmoderated post has got through to the community and drawn complaints from members.

This is a sample admin message you could send to your community.

ADMIN: INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES

Hello,

Every now and then, an unmoderated member posts something against the membership guidelines of $groupname. It's usually an honest mistake - the member just didn't realise it broke the rules.

When an unmoderated member posts something, it goes out immediately to everyone who receives individual emails. At that point, all the moderators can do is delete the message from the community and put the poster back on moderation to prevent future slips.

We don't moderate everyone by default, because these problems are genuinely rare, and there's no reason to slow down everyone's posts to catch the occasional one that shouldn't have gone through.

So if you see a message that's outside the community's purpose (pet ads from breeders, items for sale, job ads, personals, or anything illegal or adult), please check whether it's already been removed. If it has, the moderators have it in hand. If it's still there, forward it to the moderators at $owneremail.

One more thing: please don't comment on inappropriate messages on the main board, or we may have to put you on moderation too.

Thank you!
