When the public reads a post that they find objectionable it can be flagged as inappropriate. The system will then send an email to both the Group Owner and System Administrator that a post has been flagged.

Important Notes

• Either the Group Owner or the System Administrator can review the post or discussion, and the comments from the public, as to why it was flagged, and remove or un-flag the comments.
• Flagged items will remain visible to the public until they are removed.
