I have a new idea!
Can group mods get notifications when a post is made in their group?

On a regular basis I'm getting messages from people in my group telling me that someone is posting something off topic bc I don't stare at my group and it bugs me lol. So I think this would be awesome. :)

and I see that but I usually have chat up and when chat is up it doesn't show a new question was posted.

@Aravind The only official group where there is a group mod is music group. The other group mods are only mods because they made their own group back when group could be made by users. Those groups are unofficial though.

@rebeccaskell94  wat all are the responsibilities and abilities of group mod?

anonymous · Answer

Um the responsibilities include making sure the group is complying with CoC and in my case the ground rules, we have to have some extras because of copyright etc.  I make sure people stay on topic and are respectful of other users. 

Abilities include, kicking people from the group (rarely needed) and deleting irrelevant comments and posts.

Well that's an unfortunate turn of events for you.

You don't have a group that you are a moderator of, AravindG. Group moderators are appointed by the admins, just like global moderators. There is a bug whereby the creator of a group is still marked purple, which I think we have a fix pending for.

Rebecca—there is still a counter for new questions when you've got chat up, it's just at the top of the chat.

It doesn't show a counter D:

shadowfiend · Answer

It should say “x New Questions” in a gray bar right under the chat title.

anonymous · Answer

Maybe it's just because there aren't that many new questions, but I've never seen it haha I'll keep an eye out for it

shadowfiend · Answer

It's there even if there are no new questions.
