How do I review pending group discussions?

Group leaders can review newly posted discussions that meet the pre-moderation criteria at any time by:

  1. Navigating to the "Admin" tab of the group.
  2. Opening the "Pending Posts" section.

Each pending discussion shows why it was held, for example "First time poster" or "Group discussion contains a link". Click "Approve" to publish it, or "Reject" to turn it down.

Rejecting a discussion

When you click "Reject", you can:

  1. Optionally, select one or more group rules the discussion broke.
  2. Optionally, click "Add Timeout" and choose how long the author's timeout should last.
  3. Click "Reject Group Discussion" (or "Reject & Give Timeout" if you added a timeout).

The rules you can pick come from your group's rules on the "About & Rules" page.

Notes:

  • When accepting a group discussion, it sends a success notification to the author of the post
  • When rejecting a group discussion, the author is only notified if you selected a rule or gave a timeout. The notification includes the rules you selected.
  • When rejecting a group post, you still have the opportunity to undo the decision by clicking "Undo"
  • The "..." menu on a pending discussion lets you add the author to the pre-moderation list, give them a timeout, or remove them from the group
  • All pending post actions are logged in the group activity logs
