What is a moderated group?
A moderated group means that messages must be approved by group owners or managers before they will appear on the discussions section of the group. With a moderated group you can use the “All messages are held for moderation” setting. Or you can also select the “No moderation – messages are delivered directly” setting and then the “Messages from new members are moderated” setting below it (see the “Access” tab from the group settings). You can also go to the “Manage members” page and change the moderation settings for the members individually.
