A moderator can manage list members and messages for you.

For instance, they can invite members to your group, approve memberships to a private list, and approve messages if your list requires it.

Many discussion list administrators choose to designate additional moderators to ensure prompt member and message confirmation.

Yes, a moderator can suspend messages temporarily by logging in, selecting the list, and clicking on either Approve Members or Approve Messages.

Then they should click Notification Preferences and use the drop down menu that appears under Suspend notifications to select the appropriate time they will be away.

When they are done, they should click Update Preferences.

From the Start page menu, select the list for which you want to add or delete a moderator and then click Manage Moderators.

Then either assign an existing moderator from one of your other lists or add the new moderator's information.

To delete a moderator, check the box beside their name and then click Remove Moderator.
