Listservs and Bulletin Boards
Bulletin Boards
Bulletin Boards offer a way for student group members to communicate with each other, and with the public about their groups and events.
Registering
Anyone can read the bulletin board postings, but in order to participate in the boards you must register. To register, you must agree to the terms of the bulletin board, select a username, and provide a valid email address. Once you register, a temporary password will be emailed to you. You can change your password to something you will remember by modifying your profile once you log into the boards.
Moderators
Each group should designate a moderator to track the bulletin board postings. Moderators will have the ability to edit and delete posts to the bulletin board. They will also be responsible for notifying the webmaster if someone has posted inappropriate content and needs to be banned from the list.
If you intend to be the moderator for your group, please register, and then contact the webmaster to let them know your username and that you intend to be your group's moderator. You will then be assigned privileges that allow you to edit and delete posts from your boards.
How to edit and delete messages
You can edit your own message by clicking on the "Edit Post" button beside the message header. Moderators can edit and delete any message by clicking on the "Edit Post" button, and submitting their username and password for the bulletin boards. Moderators can also "Close Topics", "Delete Topics", or "Archive/Move Topics".
If you believe someone has posted something inappropriate on your bulletin board and you want to keep them off the bulletin boards, please contact the webmaster@simmons.edu and we will take steps to remove the inappropriate message and ban the user from the boards.
