Group Guidelines on a schedule

#membernotices

Su All Messages By This Member #20567 Hi, I found where I can create a Group Guidelines member notice and set it to be sent monthly. I also have the same notice in our group's Wiki. Is it possible to have it take the text from the Wiki, or do I have to update the notice every time I update the guidelines in the Wiki? Doesn't happen often, but just wondering. Thanks, Su

Su All Messages By This Member #20571 Oh, nice! Does it get sent out immediately when I make it? Or when does the "monthly" sending begin? Thanks, Su

It gets sent out on the 1st of the month and is posted in the messages.? That way it goes via email to those that read that way and is available as a reminder for everyone that reads online.? As each new month is issued, the old one can be automatically deleted from the group (so there aren't several versions there) if you set the #Guidelines hashtag to one month duration.? I believe that's the default.? I also have our hashtag set to Locked, further down the page on the hashtag definition so that no one can reply to it.? If the hashtag doesn't exist, it will be created the first time they get sent or you can create it ahead of time to adjust settings.

Su All Messages By This Member #20579 Thanks much! Is this information in the Wiki somewhere? I did look but didn't see it. Su

There's a brief mention of it waaay down at the bottom of /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation just above number 5, but not all the details that I mentioned are included.

Su All Messages By This Member #20585 Is it pretty easy for me to paste in what you wrote for future reference?
Shal Farley Member Profile All Messages By This Member #20627 Su, Is it pretty easy for me to paste in what you wrote for future reference? Yup. The Wiki page editor works much the same as the message composition for New Topic or Reply. One difference is that Enter is a paragraph break in the wiki, but a line break in messages. Shift+Enter is the opposite. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list
Su All Messages By This Member #20631 Thanks. I added the extra info to the Quick Start document that Duane linked. I think it should be somewhere else - at least mentioned in the Member Notices page, but not sure what the protocol is for that. Su

Post it as a suggestion in beta. But perhaps wait a few weeks first: Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list
Su All Messages By This Member #20741 I actually meant in the GMF Wiki. There is a link on the main page for "Member Notices", but the linked document doesn't say anything about Group Guidelines. Thanks, Su
Frances All Messages By This Member #20742 There is a little bit in this guide to group formation: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Quick-Start-for-Group-Formation And you might consider a Group Guidelines notice. ? The Group Guidelines notice is a unique type that provides a convenient and versatile way to communicate and maintain the group’s posting and conduct guidelines, if any. It has the following features and options: ? can be sent automatically on the first of each month as a message to the group, with an option to include members subscribed via Special Notices Only As each new month is issued, the old one can be automatically deleted from the group (so there aren't several versions there) if you set the #Guidelines hashtag to one month duration. ?You can also set the hashtag to Locked, further down the page on the hashtag definition so that no one can reply to it. ?If the hashtag doesn't exist, it will be created the first time they get sent or you can create it ahead of time to adjust settings. can be sent automatically to all new group members can be sent manually by a moderator to a group member at any time, in case the member needs a review of the guidelines appears under its own "Guidelines" tab at left on the group’s pages, with an option to be visible either by group members only or by the public For more information, see the Help pages.?/static/help#membernotices The other page on the wiki has examples -?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Group-Rules Frances -- FAQ on Moving from YahooGroups GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers
Su All Messages By This Member #20775 Thanks, Frances, but that is the Wiki page that I already edited to add Duane's info. (It's the second bullet point in your pasted info). I was just saying that when I searched earlier, I looked in the "Member Notices" page that is linked on the GMF Wiki front page, but this info wasn't there. I'm unclear on the protocol to add it. It doesn't seem like a good idea to copy it there as it'll be out of sync as soon as someone edits one of them. Is there a way to link to that particular portion of the Quick Start Guide? IMO it would be better to have the detailed info under "Member Notices" and a link from the Quick Start, but it's not my call. Su

A couple of areas are locked so only moderators can edit. But neither of these are locked.? Thanks.
