Groups – Mods and Admins
-
Okay, another day in BuddyPress Paradise. I’m exploring the Groups feature a bit more.
* I promoted a user to Moderator of a group but it seems the only thing a Mod can do is edit the “Details” of a group (name, description, news). I would think it makes sense for Mods to be able to delete other (non-admin) messages off the Group Wire (you can delete your own) and kick & ban Members as well. Any other views on this?
* Okay, so maybe what I would like a Mod to do is really only meant for Group Admins. So – can I promote an additional person to Group Admin? I have not been able to find that yet. Any suggestions?
* As a site admin, can I moderate an individual User’s wire messages? I mean, short of giving a user a royal boot in the rear – is there a way for admin to remove an inappropriate message (ie User is in fine standing but violates terms of the site by promoting his own product) – removing the user is pretty drastic, removing a wire message followed up with an email would be a better approach. Any ideas?
* On a broader scale, how do I moderate Users? For instance, in case of abuse, I’d like to remove someone from the site. I see a kick and ban feature for Groups (which I assume does exactly that, from a group) – should I just use regular WPMU user management functions to accomplish this outside of the Group area?
On a side note – when I promote someone to Mod and log in as that user, the notification doesn’t turn off when the notice has been read.

Good questions all. You may be the first to answer them.
Post a trac ticket for the mod notification not turning off issue. It’ll just get lost and not fixed otherwise.
Yes we do have a place for docs. https://codex.buddypress.org/ Anyone can contribute. Thank you for asking
. Products like bp and mu are built by programmers. Documentation gives programmers hives.
