I would never suggest doing this because it is redundant...if a LIST is on moderated status individuals don't need to be moderated. The only way to moderate BOARD posts coming through the gateway (assuming the entire LIST is not being moderated--only individuals) is to put the gc-gateway address on the BAN list. If you do that be sure you have also clicked the option to HOLD posts from non-subscribers rather than DISCARD them or all board gateway posts will just be discarded.

What have I done so far, well every list member is now on moderation - that was a fair bit of 'ticking'. I will put the board associated with the list on moderation too BUT can't seem to find it on the Rootsweb boards or any hint of it in my account - suggestions? I am sorry but have not looked at the names of the people who have been posting, more the content - the name that you suggest I unsub is it to do with a chocolate factory ? Sorry to be a pain Carol
