Carol- If a list is checked off on your tools page to be in emergency moderation posts from ANYONE (including YOU) won't get through without landing on your tools page and being manually approved by YOU as admin. If you are finding messages in your list archives then your list is NOT under temporary moderation. If a LIST is on moderation you don't need to moderate individuals (unless you permanently want to moderate individuals who continually cause a problem). Remember that temporary moderation for almost every list should be just that...temporary until a problem dies down. If only a couple people are causing the problem it is better to moderate those individuals and not the entire list. Joan In a message dated 11/9/2012 4:12:05 A.M.
