Every now and then an unmoderated member posts a message which is against the Membership Guidelines of KC Freecycle(TM). When a member who is not moderated posts something, it immediately goes out to all the members who receive individual emails. All the mods can do at that point is to delete the message from the group site, and put the poster on moderation to prevent future errors by that member.

We don’t want to moderate the whole list, because the problems are really pretty rare, and there’s no sense in slowing down everyone’s messages to prevent those few from slipping through.

So, if you receive a message that is outside of the Freecycle mission (pet ads, for sale/trade, seeking jobs, personals, anything illegal or adult, or general chat or bashing), you might want to check the group site to see if the message has been deleted. If it has, know that the moderators have it under control.

One more thing… please don’t comment about these inappropriate messages to the whole list or else we will also have to put you on moderation, too.

Thank you!
