Appropos. Just to give an overview, why moderation of the forum often sucks.
The rule, that users have to provide a reasonable real name, makes the moderation and in specific the approval of new users kind of a tedious task. I have always to write to people a short message, that they should change their name according to our rules. Then I have to wait for it to happen and only then, if everything seems fine, we as moderators, approve the user and his/her messages. To be honest, I even sometimes just not write to new users anymore, especially if their first message is of very non descriminative nature. In the back of my head, I always say, that this is kind of a nice filter of users, who do not respect the community. Unfortunately only a few "newbies" do put a valid realname when registering on the forum. I would say, that only around 10 percent of newbies, do that, all other, just put their usernames again there. It even became ridiculous when these new users, without proper realname, start to blame us (moderators/admins) of inproper job. I wonder, how you want solve this issue with google groups or any other alternatives. art On 31.07.2013 19:36, Alexandre Vaillancourt wrote: > Another idea could be to use a system like StackExchange. > > This probably does not have an option to offer support by email, > though.
