Re: Can you repost a poll?
I'm not sure what you mean. If you want more votes, you can send a reminder and include the URL of the poll.
I assume that there is no possibility of editing a poll, as that could make already posted votes useless. If you want to change the question, make a new poll. groetjes/?is, Ronaldo |

Squatters selling a basic group should be discouraged.
Any ideas how selling can be blocked?

Re: Recipes Group

Bruce,
With what you had mentioned from that announcement and the group RECIPES was created with only 1 member.? What if that person is a squatter willing to sell the the group to a higher bidder?? For a while, web addresses were going that route for a few years too. A legacy Basic group to acquire would be in higher demand vs. starting a fresh one now.? Wonder how many such groups exist.?

Hi All, |
Possible Downgrade to basic from Premium
John Pearce
We have a premium group that used the automated move from Yahoo.? It's come time to renew in a couple of weeks.? We do use groups.io in a basic fashion, we only use about 330 MB of data and the group is restricted.? We would lose the following according to the billing page:
If you downgraded your group to free, these are the features that would be enabled and disabled:
My subscription to the managers forum keeps me up to date on issues people face.? But I seem to remember that besides the ability to "direct add" that we would use when someone is not technical and is having trouble joining there may be other small items moderators use to manage the group that we would lose the ability to use?? My concern is the day to day management of the group like using monthly noticies, banning members, moderating members, restricting subscriptions etc.? Would we lose anything there? John P |

Re: making the default setting for a group, not be allowed to post
Dan,
As Bruce said, there isn't a setting for that. What you can do is set the group to All messages are moderated, or New Members Moderated. That way any posts from outside the small handful will be held in the pending list. From there, you can change that individual to Not allowed (heading off future postings) and either just Delete the message or use Reject to send a templated message to explain why the user is not allowed to post. Doing it this way makes the assumption that only a small fraction of the invited members would post a message. You can make the included text of your Invitation, and/or your Welcome notice suitably clear about this rule to minimize the number of members you'll need to deal with. Those who don't post don't end up set to can't post, but if they don't post it doesn't matter. I have a PTA group that runs on a similar basis: only a selected PTA unit board or committee chairs are allowed to post to the group (all of the PTA unit members can join the group). But rather than use Announcement-Only Group I simply leave the group on "All messages are moderated". It has actually been very rare that members attempt to post, and when they do it is a whole lot more in the PTA spirit for them to receive a personal reply from me or one of the unit board or committee members than a mechanical failure notice from the "mailer daemon". That kind of service attitude may or may not be practical or appropriate for your groups, but it is a alternative to consider.

Yes I agree that could be the reason (wished I had thought to start a few) but no harm in asking I would have thought

Simple solution is slightly modify the name. May be there is a non public list with that name.
