Yes, of course, the rest of it is correct. So why not make it correct from the get-go?

For me, the rest of that line covers things, "Therefore, if your message creates a new topic, expect a delay before it is posted to the group." Duane

Mark, I've noticed one slightly inaccurate and possibly confusing statement in the guidelines: "All new topics are moderated." That reads, and may sound to newcomers, as if the whole topic is moderate

That did not happen in my test. I didn't trim the prior post, I used gmail, and the Like was recorded just fine. If you reply to a message using a quote of the prior message *above* your message, then

I've used +1 for years and it has always worked, and still does work, fine (I just tested it). However, I just discovered one exception: if the member sending the +1 is moderated, the message requires

Glenn, it's one of those undocumented features, I didn't know it existed either until only a few months ago. There's only a single (somewhat cryptic) line about it, in the Owner's manual, and in the E

Oh, thanks. I didn't know that. TIL. Best, Glenn

If you reply to a post by email and just put +1 as your message text, it will be recorded as a Like. You cannot see Likes unless you use the Web UI though. Andy

I have most often seen this as a response to criticism. If we cut down on that, I think much of this sort of comment will be unnecessary. Like does not work in email in either direction: I cannot like

Adding to list below: - It likely would be helpful to cut down on unnecessary chafe in replies by avoiding reminding us that "it's Mark's business" or that "Mark can implement a #Suggestion (or not) a

Yes, of course. But he also asked for our thoughts, so I gave mine. Best, Glenn

It's Mark's group (as well as his site), so it's up to him how 'hard' any enforcement should be or is. I know in the past he has warned some people, then moderated them, then I believe he banned them

THIS. I'm fairly agnostic to what the group rules are or will be, but I object to hardline enforcement techniques. I feel they stifle conversation and actually make things less polite or at least, les
