Peace. What about some sort of filter? ; like a whitelist /blacklist and/or a trainable baysian filter. Not sure how to handle the results but maybe the filter could add appropriate hashtags or

I have no idea how many groups veer one way or the other in terms of individuals vs. topics needing moderation. But moderating a topic is ALREADY a feature i in groups.io. By saying that "in most its

As others have said, in most its usually people who need moderating, not topics. In most groups there are one or two vocal individuals who need careful management. They divert threads off-topic and

Of course. But that's not a reason to throw in the towel. You may as well recommend doing away with moderated threads completely because people will always find a way around them. Is that what you are

J, It might work for JUST your group, but I see examples of this type of behaviour in groups most every day. Saw one at the weekend in a Ham Radio group where some ones post was blocked, and in a

I do think Walter's keyword idea has merit, but would be better implemented through a hashtag bearing the keyword. That way, only specific threads would be moderated, rather than every thread

I disagree. That will not happen in our group. How do I know this? Because I ALREADY moderate such threads and it doesn't happen. The only difference is that I now have to do it by hand. The "having

I thought the keyword idea was a little pie-in-the-sky and impractical. People might be asking about "large cell lymphoma" in general (to use an example more in line with my group) and not have a cat

J, Whilst I think there is mileage in being able to moderate specific threads or hashtags, I think that once folks catch on you will find you end up moderating people. When folks figure out

Offline, I suggested some keywords which would trigger moderation on a new topic. To pick a random possibly fatal condition, if “renal failure” was mentioned when starting a new topic, it could be

Am just catching this now. No, it's not about managing specific people. It's about managing specific sensitive threads and the RESPONSES to those threads, which can come from anyone in the group.

I'll rephrase. The format of hashtags obviously has nothing to do with the feature request. People would be free to use whatever kinds of hashtags they want. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of

This is irrelevant to the feature request. Do your hashtags however you want. 😀 -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. I wish I could shut up, but I

Hallo J, If #hashtags are written out in full then the hashtag collection could take up a lot of space in the Subject: But they are clearly read and understood. Were you thinking of a coded a

I understood you the first time. And again, it's not a matter of not playing nice. It has to do with the particular situation of the group member and their cat. -- J If you would provide situation

I've already proposed an alternative solution using hashtags. See the other thread. I think Mark will understand the use case and if he doesn't, he's free to ask me. I've explained it to you in

With a clear example of the problem, Mark might have a solution that you haven’t thought of. Mark has seen many more problems than any of us. He’s been doing this for decades. I’ve maintained
