I - at last - clean up some pilling requests I didn't want to ban. I approved them and then remove them. This means: 1 - approve + remember name 2 - remove membership 3 - search persons submitted links to delete them
Really wish there was a 'deny' button, would be so much simpler.
/ Diigo Community/ How to moderate when it's possible that a person's first post is a simple mistake?
A question, to Diigo: what's the best approach when you wish to decline the posts without banning the member?
If I follow the link to the poster's profile then click
Send Message
then Diigo may respond
Sorry, you are not allowed to send message to this user.
Suggestions
1. A join of a group by person P
should be interpreted as an allowance for the owners and moderators of that group to send messages to person P.
In other words, if person P prefers to not receive messages, that preference may be over-ridden in a group joining situation.
2. To the three current options,
Approve | Ban from this group | Ban from this group and flag as spammer
add a fourth:
| Decline
Opting to decline should either
send a standard form of wording, or
allow the owner/moderator to enter custom wording.
"three strikes and you're out".
(For the moment I'm ignoring the rest of that topic. I don't remember posting it!)
… especially when it appears that the user may be confused by the two very different meanings of
'Diigo Community'.
Currently at http://groups.diigo.com/group/Diigo_HQ/members/pending_approved_members there's a good example of a new user who appears to have simply made a mistake.
I can ban him, but that's very harsh.
Can you add an option to decline items?
