Pretty much topic basically.

You may and you may criticize and discuss to your hearts content as long as it is relevant to the cid. So if you post an email asking a question that does not relate to the CID your post most likely will be denied. We do not have any hard and fast rules, I am not sure . There are 3 or 4 moderators and who ever gets to the message waiting in moderation first deals with it. I guess if it were some very sensitive decision to be made colloboration between moderators could happen This also stops spam from arriving in the group. I hope this helps I see there is another message from you in the moderation queue asking the same question. I will leave it there as I don't think this thread is covering it. Perhaps one of the other mods will think differently - note I have not deleted it just left it in the queue! I just checked the settings and even all the moderators are set for moderation! Including myself. And for the other mods - perhaps moderation should only be set for new members or members can be moderated if they post off topic too often Trev -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" group.
