Re: "Eligibility to join" pop-up for potential new members
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýRich, our group only accepts for membership whose own specific needs align with the help we can provide for them. We don¡¯t accept, for instance, people asking for help for someone they know. We also want their personal concerns to be private from outside eyes. Messages are moderated to be sure they are on target and also to prevent snarky replies from appearing. We sometimes have to communicate with a member to explain why we can¡¯t put a message through. We almost never edit a message but do ask members once in a while to rewrite to clarify what they¡¯re talking about.?It is a lot more work but it also pays off for the membership to feel safe and to get well targeted answers.? I don¡¯t know what auto moderated means.? Susan B? On Oct 22, 2019, at 3:42 PM, rich hurd <rah1420@...> wrote:

Re: Notice of Pricing Change
Considering what you get and considering it for me costs that much to run a server, 2 of them actually, plus cloud space on other stuff 200 dollars for a year is not bad. It costs to run these things guys, there never will be anything such as a free lunch, someone behind the seens is paying. Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. .

Re: Bounced because of SPAM
#bouncedemails
#spam
I wonder if systems like senderbase would raise the flag because of the
number of dead accounts that were in the Yahoo system all bouncing when groups.io tries to send the welcome message? Since many (older) spambots used massive lists, that have much out of date, they might think the work of those messages would look very similar. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.org www.syracusemodelrr.org |

Re: Notice of Pricing Change
I can understand your situation, but I think the real bad guy here is Yahoo. Yahoo has caused all this commotion, and Groups.io is trying to offer you a way to keep your group. If there was no place to transfer to like Groups.io you would lose your group anyway, so can I suggest you pass the collection plate around to your membership if you can¡¯t personally afford it, and ask your membership to help you out this time. You would be surprised how many people will offer to chip in, just as I found out last year when I transferred my group. ? Don ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Susan B
Sent: Monday, October 21, 2019 8:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [GMF] GMF] Notice of Pricing Change ? Why are they literally springing this overnight fee change on people. They surely knew before this afternoon. I am helping a group with an absentee owner and have to ask Yahoo to make one of us a moderator so we can issue an invite! There is NO time to get that done! We are going to lose our group over this, I¡¯m afraid. Several people offered to donate toward the $110 but we haven¡¯t done anything toward collecting the donations because we wanted to give the owner a chance to respond. If I pay the $110 myself just to get it done, I will lose that money if we can¡¯t send an invite to the transfer agent. |

Members can have an alias to send emails from. There is no email received at the other secondary address. So, unlike Yahoo, in we can send emails from both primary and secondary addresses, but group emails are only delivered to the primary email address. Do I have that right? deborah

Re: "Eligibility to join" pop-up for potential new members
Do you just not want spammers? ? Or is your group hosting content that you would rather keep private? For my part, I just leave them moderated until they post their first message, which is generally an on-topic message if they are ¡°genuine.¡± ? I like the auto-moderation in GIO better than manually doing it.? Going to love it here. If my group ever gets transferred.? LOL ?
