Re: Re: Admin of this group

[Guest guest]

Sharon owns this group.  I have not been able to get in touch with

her for a while.  It seems her Yahoo account is bouncing.  So I am

developing the art of patience while waiting for her to notice.  I

am the moderator.  I am restricted in what I can do, basically to

approving new members and being able to change some for the settings

for email, etc.  I can't unsubscribe people, or change any policies,

etc.  But, within those limits, what can I do for you?

Who actually "owns" this group and do we have an admin or

moderator? If so, can one of them please email me or post

here to identify themselves...Thanks a bunch :-)

I am reconsidering the amount of posts that can be considered

'reasonable' for promoting a product that some here may find

useful.  I will get back to everyone on that when I have had some

more thought.  There are only a couple of people who seem to have

trouble with knowing when enough is enough.  I will pay more

attention to such posts in the future.

I am not sure what to do about people making personal contact.  If

requested, it is certainly encouraged.  It was always hoped that

personal friendships might develop in the group, that then existed

outside the group.  BUT, unwelcome contact is a different matter. 

There was never any intention for this group to become a way of

getting email addresses to then promote services.  If anyone has a

service that is of benefit to members, post about it in the group,

not to individuals.  I would happily remove anyone who does that,

because it is against the purpose of this group, and I suspect also

contravenes Yahoo rules.  But, I don't have the authority to ban or

remove anyone.  All I can suggest is that you let Yahoo know if you

are being harassed by someone else here.   All I can do is set the

person to 'moderated' which means I have to approve each post.  If

you want to make private contact with any other member, please post

here asking permission first.  Then the person can respond if they

want to.

Why don't you have this authority? I am moderator of another Yahoo group and I most definitely have the authority  (and ability through the moderator interface) to block someone from the group, put them on moderation, etc. Is there something in the way the group was originally set up that keeps you from having these same options? Even if it wasn't set up that way initially, I believe there are ways to change that after the fact if it proves necessary.

It is up to the owner what authority s/he grants to moderators.  I

moderate a number of groups.  In some I can do anything the owner

can do, in others I can do very little.  It always seems to be the

latter where the owner goes MIA.  In one group there are two

moderators, we have contacted Yahoo a number of times, and the only

response we get is to get in touch with the owner and ask her to

change it.  If we could do that, we wouldn't waste our time

bothering Yahoo.  The owner has not be seen or heard from in 5

years.

I am so sorry that you have to deal with this. Simply deleting and strongly reminding this Doctor that the posts are more appreciated without the sales pitches should eventually work.
