On GMF under the topic "Membership Metrics” there was an exchange between a contributor and a moderator. Following that exchange, the contributor posted:

Mark, It has happened a few times now that I've composed an explanatory note when rejecting a message, only to find when I completed the edit that the message had already been approved or rejected by

I would appreciate if someone could explain the rationale to me that would make it reasonable for any Moderator to be able to demote any Owner, (or any Moderator senior to them). Chuck

Incorrect as of now. If that moderator can't give someone else moderator status, it would only last as long as that moderator did - end of group. Many of us don't see it as a "time bomb" since we've

My thought (as expressed on GMF) is that there should be certain 'Owner only' privileges: I would suggest they are (1) the ability to make/unmake owners; (2) the ability to delete or rename their

Oh, I think you mean you can edit the poll after people have already voted to show who voted for what. That's pretty bad. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy

On the two I looked at, not even an owner or poll creator can see who responded, being truly anonymous (except for the hidden record that keeps track of each persons response in case they want to

That depends on the answer to "Do not show WHO who responded to the poll"? Does it mean, don't even show the mods? I was under the impression it just meant "don't show the group." -- J Messages

While researching something else, I realized that if implemented, there should be no logging if the poll is set up for "Do not show who responded to the poll" is chosen. Duane

Oops, I hadn't seen it there. Maybe have the Guidelines sent on join (and every month?), with a "lock immediately" hashtag. Or make a locked post with only the charter and sticky it since the 'help'

That brings up the issue, which occurred to me last night, of what happens when a bug is tagged #fixed by Mark and it turns out not to really be fixed. Does Mark remove the tag? In the cases I've

#fixed and #done are moderator hashtags, not for users. They would be added if/when that state is reached. I do agree that there should be an easy place for others, especially newcomers, to find the
