Re: Automatic unsubscription ?


 

Does this mean that when I mark a message as spam on my email program (Thunderbird) it automatically sends a message back to the sender with the information that I marked the message as spam, and if that sender happens to be any Groups.io group I will be automatically removed from that group? I didn't think my marking messages as spam was having any effect other than to the spam filter on my email program. Should I be warning the members of my groups that this could happen inadvertently? I could understand this if someone marked it as spam on the web site, but not with the email program on my home computer.

simply put . . . if you mark a message as SPAM . . . the future messages are blocked from "you", not to prevent the sender from sending . . . I've often get messages marked as possible spam, marked by others but are not and I want to receive. If the sender is blocked then anyone marking this group as spam might block all group messages to anyone here.

Indeed Matty, you are misunderstanding something...
The messages which triggered the end user to mark them as spam are just
normal messages, they are NOT spam. The end user, for whatever reason,
has decided to move them to his webmail spam folder, maybe just saying
'I don't want to see all these messages'. In this case it is right that
they are automatically removed from the group. In cases when they have
accidentally done so they are given the opportunity to rejoin. Many do,
some stay unsubscribed.
We moderators are never told what actual message they clicked on as
spam. My exerience with a group we moved over to groups.io six months
ago is that we got a few of these initially but it soon died down -
those accidentally doing it realised their mistake, the rest obviously
decided groups.io was not for them and stayed away. Yahoogroups no
doubt had a similar system in place except we never were told about it,
people just left.
