I'll say it again, and have said it before when this has come up, elsewhere this privilege is standard operating procedure, and should be so for Groups.io. Since it is the group owner or a moderator

This already exists if you're starting a new thread, by using a hashtag set to Locked. But of course, you can't do it in an existing thread. So I agree that it would be handy. -- J Messages are

Now that I can support, although I don't think I would wish to edit an existing message for a number of reasons. My own particular example would be to add to a locked (and perhaps "sticky") Group

I am all in favour of Catlady's suggestion and I wish to add that owners and moderators (with appropriate privileges) should be able to bypass all limitations, including sending attachments in groups

Very often, I have to edit a message right after locking the topic. Yet you can't do that: locked a topic makes all messages in it uneditable. I think moderators (with the appropriate privileges)

Received from J_Catlady at 1/7/2019 07:29 PM UTC: Yep, a bit of education can go a long way. And if that were to fial I'dturn off the problem Moderators' ability to approve subscriptions beforeI'd

What if we change it to "Subscription Approval Needed - BUT NOT YET!" ;p -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can

1) The "Subscription Approval Needed" is not accurate for Restricted Groups with a "Pending Subscription" Member Notice requesting additional information, because until/unless it is provided, no

I personally don't see any problem with this (i.e., the way things are). I can also see why Michael made his suggestion to change things. The problem seems to be that his mods sometimes don't wait for
