Moderation may be needed from time to time

Glow Forums are linked to Glow groups. The administrator of a Glow group is also the moderator of Glow forums which allow them to make changes to posts made by other people.

It is always wise to reinforce the expectations you have of anyone using a forum, mainly to use appropriate language and be respectful to others.

The video below shows an introduction to the moderation options available to you:

Remember:

• Lock topic – keep the topic there but stop any changes to it
• Delete topic – remove the topic and all its associated posts
• Move topic – move the topic and its posts to another board that I administer
• Split topic – instead of one topic, create two and then decide which posts should go in each
• Merge posts – take 2 posts from the topic and merge them in to one
• Merge topic – take the posts in this topic and put them in to another topic
• Copy topic – take this topic and its associated post and put them in another board but leave the original in place (live move but it leaves the original in place)
• Change to sticky – this topic will always appear at the top of the lists of posts, regardless of activity (normally the topic at the top of the list is the one with the most recent post)
• Change to announcement – this will take the topic and take it out of the topic section and move it to the higher Announcements section
• View logs – this allows me to see activity in the topic and the overall board
