@twelve42 Good idea on the code of conduct - on it. For now, I can make the spam filter for new members much more aggressive. With the current settings, you're under harsh anti-spam functions - so all your posts will need moderation - until you've had three approved, then it goes back to the regular settings.

Hi Joshua,

No worries about dropping the ball as you put it, I’m sure you’ve had a hundred and one things to do.

Re moderation, I guess it would be good for posts to be moderated before they are made live but that’s very dependent on a couple of things - firstly how many moderators will we have and how quickly therefore can posts be moderated and secondly, how much of a risk do we think it is for posts to go live without being moderated.
I’m minded to say let’s go with without pre-post moderation. I think most people are sensible and as long as we can take posts down if we decide they are not appropriate then I think the risk is limited.

As part of signing up, we can have a code of conduct that will include ‘appropriateness’ of posts and maybe have a two strikes and you’re out policy

Happy to discuss

@twelve42 I see what you're doing here, testing the civility guidelines as well, eh?

I have not, which doesn't bode well. Sorry for dropping the ball on this a bit, I got caught up in about a million other workstreams. I will look into moderation now - I definitely don't like the idea of unmoderated immediate posting but perhaps I'm being a bit oversensitive?

Question - have you had to moderate any of my posts?

One of the things that might be nice to have on the volunteer forum is pictures of volunteers with a short bio. This would help new joiners to identify people

Volunteer Idea Sharing

I’ve started a new thread by clicking the ‘add topic’ button on the home page. You then get to select which forum you want to add to i.e. ‘General Communigrow Discussion’ or Welcoming New Volunteers’. Seems to work ok 👍

So, I got notified by email that you had replied so that’s good.

It’s a shame I can’t just see the picture - I have to click on the link to view it and then go back to return to the forum thread. Not the end of the world but just would be nicer to see pictures I think.

HAH OK there's a snag already, if people post pictures I want there to be a preview of some sort before you click the link. I SAID it was an electric chainsaw (and it was) but I could have said that and then uploaded anything, can't tell from the filename alone.
