Hashtag Question


Mark Bielecki
 

I have a question about hashtags that was not addressed in the groups.io FAQ.

Is it possible to make it so that only moderators can populate the names of the available hashtags, i.e. users/members can only use a hashtag that has already been made available by the moderators or they have to ask a moderator to make a new hashtag?

I would like to limit the number of hashtags to a manageable and easily identifiable group of available hashtags. ?One of my concerns is that if users can make up their own hashtags there will be literally hundreds of misspelled, unintelligible, or just plain useless hashtags cluttering up an otherwise very valuable tool; ?at some point having an overabundance of hashtags will make hashtags more of an annoyance than the useful tool that it promises to be.

Yes. Settings > "Only Moderators Can Create Hashtags "

Mark,

I see elsewhere that you've found that control.

One of my concerns is that if users can make up their own hashtags there
will be literally hundreds of misspelled, unintelligible, or just plain
useless hashtags cluttering up an otherwise very valuable tool;
In addition to the Alias feature, you can also help members choose the right hashtag by providing text in the Description field for each hashtag.
