Q. How do I make my Initiative an announcement/newsletter list?
A. Sometimes you may wish to make an announcement-only or a newsletter Initiative, where only the moderator can post, any posts to the list ONLY go to the moderator, and any replies to the Initiative email list bounce to the moderator only.
In the Create New Initiative or Edit Initiative Settings/Edit Initiative Info page for your Initiative (you get there by clicking Edit Settings on a Initiative you moderate), click the choice Closed Initiative. This way, only Group Members you directly add can join. You can give an email address (the moderator's) for potential Group Members to use to request to join the Initiative. In your Initiative description, note that the Initiative is for outgoing announcements only, and that unauthorized messages will not be distributed.
First, once you have finished setting up your Discussion (see Starting a new Initiative[new page]), select Edit Email List Information from the options in yellow on the Initiative home page. Under Moderated Email List select Moderated. This will mean that only moderators can send email messages to the Initiative.
