Re: Groups.io site updates #changelog

Part of the problem here is that many of the terms aren't totally clear as to what they mean. So, I did some testing.

For example: The "Bounce" option.

What this means is that if there is an attempt to create a new hashtag in a new topic generated via email, then the email is held and a new email (not a reply to the first one) is generated by groups/io and sent to the member that attempted to break the rules. You can still use existing hashtags, so the require hashtags groups still work.

Here is an example message that comes back with the group name and link number edited. Depending on your email client, and this not being a reply, it may be difficult to notice this email. I was off doing other things and it was only later that I noticed it had shown up in my Spam folder (Hotmail).

========== Sample ============

Hello,

This group does not permit the creation of new hashtags except by the moderators. The subject of your message
contains at least one hashtag that is not allowed. Click on this link to edit your message subject and add appropriate tags:

/g/mygroup/editsubject/123456

Your message will not be sent to the group until you edit the subject.


Cheers,
The Groups.io Team
=============================

There is a problem with this, as the link only works if the person sending the email is already logged into their groups.io account. Otherwise, one gets dumped at the homepage. I don't know what would happen if this was a restricted group.?Once you get logged in, then the link brings you to the editsubject form where you get a chance to correct your errors and then the message will be posted.

Personally, I would rather just see scrapping the "bounce" option altogether. IMHO, this is not ready for prime time.

Bounce was the prior behavior, so I'm sure that's default so as not to
change a group's behavior unexpectedly.
