No. The topic AQUIRES the behavior from the hashtag. It does not "inherit" the behavior. Hashtags are not, and cannot be, moderated. Only topics can be modered. -- J Messages are the sole opinion

Bruce, The whole point of my immediately prior message was to explain to you that I think having to moderate the first message is a bug (or design flaw) and I expect that to be fixed! If fixed, you

You're using hashtags incorrectly. They act on topics, not individual messages. "When a hashtag is set to Moderated, messages sent to topics tagged with it require approval by a moderator." --

J -- Yeah, I saw that. I find myself unable to support this. It doesn't address my use case, inasmuch as I would now have to moderate the first message, which didn't require that before. Not only

The topic inherits the behaviour from the hashtag. I believe I use hashtags correctly but that you want a new and different behaviour which could only be done by adding a new hashtag property, not by

I'm sure you will see parallels with message 30720. They might be related.

Yea, in fact I have, so here's a better example ... Suppose I have a general discussion list with a hashtag #announcement that I want to allow anyone to use but always want it moderated so I can check

A few weeks ago, I started working on a bug report about things that I was not finding in my group's Activity Log and/or in email messages to me as Moderator. It was taking me some time to do that

Then set that hashtag to "use by mods only." -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together. -

Which is why I used the word "obvious." I challenge anyone to think of a use for this. I think it's a bug. Think about it: it forces the creator of the message/topic themselves to go through

It's the use of the hashtag that is moderated. I don't want to allow every group member to post any message with, say, #admin on it!! The current operation is exactly right, the suggestion would break

Sorry -- What I meant by "It might serve a useful purpose" was that the suggestion that the present behavior "serves no obvious useful purpose" may in fact be wrong. Even though you didn't see any

It might serve a useful purpose. If the owners of a group want a hastag to require moderation, they might want that to happen all the time, not only for replies. Group members can be devious and do

I just posted this request: https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/30721 The request is to change "Moderated" hashtags so that only replies to the topic are moderated, not the first message itself

When you put a Moderated hashtag on an already existing topic, all replies from that point on are, correctly, moderated. But if you put such a hashtag on a Topic when it is first created (i.e., when

Overnight I had two unsubscriptions (from different people and different groups) reported to me by email. One is all fine, it was from a (paid) subgroup. The person remains a member of the main
