I believe it happens when they have a filter set to move emails from the group into a folder/label, which catches both the 'sent' version from gmail, and the incoming email via .

Re: Harvesting email addresses
debbie
 Thanks for your view on this, Shal. Several people have complained already and I received it, too, so I will take upon myself to take care of it. I'll write to support (Mark?) and see what he suggests should be done. Maybe I? just need to write to the owner of that list and make him aware of the opposition to what he's doing.

Re: Harvesting email addresses
Debbie,
Does "[TOS prohibition on collecting email addresses]" includeI would think so, if the invitations would be considered "unsolicited" by the recipients. Note that might not have an obvious interpretation; the group's culture and norms come into play. Some groups consider off-list contact between members to be entirely normal (and hence participation in the group constitutes tacit consent) while other groups consider off-list contact to be forbidden or even reprehensible. And there can be cases in between. For example, when discussing things here in GMF I've been known to send a member of GMF an invitation to join my test group. Often I'll mention that on-list, but I can't say that I always do. Sometimes I just write a personal note into the invitation itself. One could argue that such invitations (or at least some of them) are unsolicited in that the GMF member did not explicitly ask for an invitation. I would assert that their assent to be invited, even if post-facto, is a reasonable inference from the conversation about resolving a particular question. Note also that I think the wording here implies that the aggrieved party is the invitee, not the owner of the group whose members were targeted. If so, is [email protected] the correct place to report it to?Yes. The very last sentence of the TOS: "Please contact us at [email protected] to report any violations of these Terms of Service or to pose any questions regarding this Terms of Service or the Service."

Re: Sub Group Question
#subgroups
SIRMick,
1. Can I change the photo for the sub group?Yes. Same as the primary group. Visit the subgroup's Settings page, click on the Cover Photo tab. 2. Can I have different setting as regards membership to the mainYes, the subgroup's settings are (nearly) independent of the primary group's settings. Moreover, each subgroup member can have different subscription settings in each subgroup and the primary group.

Harvesting email addresses
debbie
 Does "harvest or collect email addresses or other contact information of other
users from the Service by electronic or other means for the purposes of
sending unsolicited emails or other unsolicited communications" include harvesting email addresses to send them invitations to another group? If so, is [email protected] the correct place to report it to? Thanks, Debbie |

Got it. Thank-you. Is there a central ¡°wishlist¡± where one could request such a feature, in some future update, from the powers that be? ;-)

R,
... then we could transfer all those planned events to the mainWell, at the bottom of the planning calendar pages is a blue "Subscribe to Calendar" button. Clicking on that will give you a link to a page containing that calendar's events in iCalendar (.ics) file format. But that's only half an answer, because I don't know of a way to then import that file into the main calendar. Likewise one by one. In each event you can download it as an .ics file, but then there's still no way to import them into the main calendar.

Re: Instructions for New Members (not invited) Joining Group
Don,
Has anyone developed a complete "How Too" for persons who want to joinQuite possibly. But it is so easy that I'd be concerned that a step-by-step would make it seem harder than it is. If they only want to post and receive by email, use the +subscribe email command: /static/help#emailcommands It doesn't say there, but should, that they'll receive a confirmation notice from Groups.io, and they need to follow its instructions to confirm. If they want to access the group's web pages, go to the group home page and scroll down to the blue "Join Group" button (unrestricted groups) or "Apply For Membership in This Group" button (restricted groups). Then follow the instructions. Hopefully including how too set up a password./static/help#password Note that a password is not required to log in. The member can opt to use the "Email me a link to log in" function instead.

I reset my bounce but I don't see why it even happened in the first place.Typically this comes about when a mail service has extended problems with its servers.?Per what Shal said, check your own mail delivery history to determine what response your provider (or intermediate server) may have sent to groups.io. With that understanding, one has to wonder what other messages they may have failed to deliver to your inbox.?Such issues can be expected occasionally; but if the problem persists, the best long-term solution is to seek out a more reliable provider. I realize that sounds kinda glib, but it's the truth. More information on this than you'd probably ever want to know can be found at?/static/help#bouncing? ?
