Joe,

?> ... I just joined Groups Managers Forum and found this already --
?> seems its a big problem ...

It is an on-going problem with certain email services. Members using
those services need to be vigilant, that's about all we can suggest.

As to the points you raised with support,

(a) I don't see why sending the former member an Invite didn't work. I
know of at least one group owner who routinely uses Direct Add to put
the removed members back.

Maybe your case had something to do with the general site issues that
cropped up last night.


(b) Maybe also the site problems, but maybe by "register" he tried to
sign up for a new Groups.io account (rather than just re-join your
group). His account would not have been removed, only the subscription
to your group.

?> ... and a Retribution Nuisance NASTY caused by Verizon/OATH towards
?> Groups.io for all the groups leaving Yahoo (as I did) for groups.io.

I really don't think the FBL issue has anything to do with groups
migrating to Groups.io, or with Groups.io at all. I really don't think
anyone at Verizon/Oath is paying enough attention to Yahoo Groups to
have even noticed. But that's just my opinion.

Note too that some of the email services on our list of troublesome
services aren't owned by Verizon.

?> Mainly to Yahoo or AOL email users to DO NOT sign the "OATH PLEDGE
for > T.O.S. (terms of service)

I think ultimately you either go with it, or you stop using their
services. I'm still using Yahoo Groups so I've accepted the new TOS, but
that's a personal choice.

?> I sent a private email to my affected member alerting him to look for
?> a RESUB email from Groups.io to respond to within 3 days.

Good, hopefully he will.

Shal
