Re: Subscribers v.s. Members

?Michael,

There is no distinction. This is basically a case of using the interface differently depending on whether or not you are logged in.?The same thing could be also said for an email user versus an online user. There is no "type" that restricts the user from using one versus the other or both.

It seems obvious to me that "Subscriber" and "Member" mean the same thing. "User" would also be another equivalent term. This seems to be looking for a solution to the wrong problem.

There certainly are two types of 'belonging' to Groups.io that do exist.

1) There are those people who 'belong' and do not have a Password (they may not understand or wish to have or use one - which is OK) but there are certain things they can not do in Groups.io

2) There are other people who 'belong' and do have a Password, and therefore can do those certain things that require a Password in Groups.io

Clearly "Subscriber" and "Member" have not been carefully used to distinguish between these two types. I stated what seemed to me to be the appropriate differentiation of what those terms could and should mean.

So that there is no confusion as to who is able to do what in Groups.io, my question was and is:
What are the unambiguous, official Groups.io terms for these two types of 'belonging¡¯?

I think it would be better to have clearly defined terms, than to have to say ¡®except if you do not have a Password¡¯, ¡®if you have a Password¡¯, or other such cumbersome phrases.
