Blog EntryComing Soon: Administrative AssistanceJan 7, '08 5:26 PM
for everyone
We have an upcoming feature that group admins are sure to love, as it's quite likely to make their lives a lot easier.

Multiply lets users share many different kinds of content, and we know that it might sometimes be frustrating trying to get group members to use the different sections of your group — Blog, Note, Photo, Video, etc. — the way you want.

That's why, in the near future, we'll be giving group administrators the option of choosing which content types may be shared in their groups. For example, if you want to leave the Notes section open for general discussion, while keeping the Blog area clutter-free for administrators posting official notices, you'll be able to do just that.

Group administrators will be able to choose whether a given content type may be posted by anyone, only administrators, or no-one at all.

By the way, if you see a group without an active administrator, let us know if you'd be interested in taking care of the group. And remember, anyone can create their own group for a topic they're interested in. It's easy – just click Groups followed by Create a Group!

i would also suggest if its possible for you to also leave the read pm messages on the recent updates because some of users also would like to reread their private messages.

Read PMs do show on your Inbox. If they were sent by someone who isn't your contact or is outside of your network, you'll need to set the proximity level to "Distant" in order to see their PM.

Or you can just use the pre-made "Personal Messages" Custom filter.

Could The Main Owner Admin's also Have what loads call MODERATOR'S

You know those with co/admin's helping out that we or the owner's would have
more rights & Co / admin's less rights -- if you know what i mean cause over tha last
few weeks i,ve seen so many groups go down cause of newbie admin's so saying
SORRY Clicked the wrong button -- ( only one admin should have this right ) and
that's the main admin unless the owner get's his or her account closed down & then the next in line
co / admin takes over & get's those rights as the main owner's account is non - exsistent anymore
and you know the owner's name can not be re brought bk to life cause of MP Restricsions.
dantcer wrote on Jan 8

Yeah... like that really happens by accident. That's why we need co-admins. Because it CAN'T happen by accident right now.

I was thinking the same thing. As you said, Admin would be owner and Mod would be appointed. This feature would only be handy if the Admin could limit or extend the Mod's individual powers. For example, I don't want the mods to be able to de-mod themselves, or to remove the group, or edit the theme.

Wrong topic for this thread. Try the User Support Group.

Anyway, here's an article you should look at about the Music Search:

It wanted to know as to deletar emails of the people who I registered in cadastre in mine multiply and that it does not use multiply but receives for email everything that I postei in mine multiply. The people had not created multiply for they and they do not want to receive the messages or photos that rank in mine multiply and I do not know to deletar they or either the email from them. Necessary with urgency because it has much people that do not want more to receive the information postadas in my site and nor it has multiply. Since already I am thankful. Ju.



Queria saber como deletar os emails das pessoas que cadastrei no meu multiply e que não usa o multiply mas recebe por email tudo que eu postei no meu multiply.

As pessoas não criaram multiply para elas e não querem receber as mensagens ou fotos que posto no meu multiply e eu não sei deletar elas ou seja o email delas.

Preciso com urgência porque tem muita gente que não quer mais receber as informações postadas no meu site e nem tem multiply.

Desde já agradeço.

By the way, if you see a group without an active administrator, let us know if you'd be interested in taking care of the group.
what does that mean ??
are you going to become the admin or appoint someone or delete the group??
dantcer wrote on Jan 9, edited on Jan 9
It means when there are groups that are abandoned.... No admin there, (account deleted) or it's full of spam and no one is doing any admin work, they will consider someone taking over the group as admin, depending on the group, the person asking etc. They will try to verify with any current admins if they wish to turn the group over... that sort of thing.

barefootmeg wrote on Jan 9

there was a parents of teens group that someone discovered was full of porn. jnamakulit reported it to the staff and they enabled him to admin the group and remove the porn. without an admin, the porners had been running rampant. so groups without admins can be a problem.

any time you come across a group without an admin and you're interested in taking over the responsibility you can let the staff know.

if i see an unattended group, i always contact the admin several times first. if there's no reply (which generally means they're no longer on multiply) then i contact the CS folks.

Yep, and the group is at least, well now..

I hope you guys would also consider putting in a BAN option or approval process for groups. We have a pesky person in Multiply Theme University that we have banned a gazillion times!

Great new add-on, now please help us keep our groups clean by allowing us to ban errant members or appove new ones. Thanks.

I too have a large group, I have a Moderator for everyday posting challenges. It is a little scary to think that one person could erroneously delete two years worth of work. I think the creator should be the only one with the capacity to delete a group.

It's handled on a case-by-case basis. As dantcer suggested, you'll need to contact customer service about this.

Recipes! I've seen the link alive on my group's home page, but there's no (easy) way to post on this section. I haven't checked also if it's automatically included in the message board or not (is it?).

You can do your own checking to see how many of the groups are related to eating and cooking. Recipes section should be handy for these groups.
