How to get a forum
Just email with the
class name, session (fall/spring/etc), moderation, and anonymous posting
information. Moderation settings include who should be able to delete or alter
messages in the forum and if messages should be reviewed before they are
visible to all users. Anonmous posting allows users to choose a pseudonym to
use in the forum instead of their real name.
Each user who needs moderator access should login to the system to be
sure their account exists in the database. This should only need to be done
once per account -- it isn't reset each semester.
Moderating a forum
To moderate a forum with messages held until review just login and go to the
forum in question. Then, click on "My Control Center" and then click on
Unapproved Messages. You'll also get emails with links when new messages are available to review.
To moderate messages already visible in the forum you can just use the buttons just below messages in the forum. Deleting, Hiding, and Editing are supported. Please only Hide messages if they are from an anonymous user and there might be a need to find out who really posted that message.
