Moderated Groups -- or not?

by Richard Dexter

I set up my DEXTER group as a moderated group --- and now I am having second thoughts about the idea. What have you all done? What are the pros and cons? Thanks

    I also set up a moderated Group called the Breadmore One-Name Study, but when I realised that it would essentially be 'private' I set up another group which is unmoderated called Breadmore Genealogy. Maybe you could do the same?

      Do you mean you have set it so that people wanting to join the group have to be approved? I've done that with mine and now I am having second thoughts. Supposing I was out of action - ill, or even gone to join my ancestors? I'd like to think the group would continue. So I'm planning to change it so that anyone can join.

        Thank you all. I think i'm going to delete my existing moderated
        group and start a new open group.
