Will gladly comply! Sounds like it'll be a blast!

Thanks for taking this on, Jean. I'm looking forward to new activity here!

Me too :) Thanks both.

Could we not have the group rules pop up every time we write something? It's so distracting.

Hi Susan,

Well, I've found this works in the other group I moderate, and has done for quite a few years now. It discourages the trollers!

Yes, it is distracting at the beginning, but you soon get used to refreshing your screen if it covers anything up (this applies to me too, remember!)

Let's see how it goes. I certainly want to keep it in place for now. So many people belong to several groups, which all have different specs, and find they might inadvertently break a rule.

Sorry this is not the answer you hoped for.

Understandable.

Logical rules

Thanks both!

Got it.

Excellent and I understand.

Hi everyone!

I'm Agnes Spellman, and I'm thrilled to join this English mystery community! I'm a cozy mystery author with a twist—I create murder mysteries set (so far!) in the glamorous 1920s, featuring word searches that provide clues to help readers solve the case. My passion for cozy mysteries and classic Agatha Christie-style whodunnits inspired me to blend puzzles and suspense for a unique reading experience.

I'm new to Goodreads and groups like this one, so I hope this introductory post is okay. I plan on being an active part of this wonderful community—after all, books are way better than reality!

Looking forward to chatting with you all!Agnes Spellman
