Duplicate photos
This problem of duplicate photos is driving me crazy.
When a message contains a photo it is copied to the "Photos" section. Then every reply to the message copies it to the "Photos" again. I have asked before and been told to "strip" the image from replies . How?? I need to explain the method in detail to members. Mick |

We have set our groups to moderate all messages with attachments we get the opportunity to remove images that would cause duplicates.? We always add a moderator note like those you see here on GMF when that is done. The majority of images trapped for moderation to begin with were those in email signatures and people learned quite quickly that if they wanted their message to be posted without delay they should remove the graphics.

Re: What is a subgroup
Sandy, ... I'm thinking of starting subgroups for our guild's officers & committees ... That seems like a natural fit. Similar to how I use Groups.io for my PTA lists. The primary group is all unit members, and then subgroups for the board, teachers, committees, etc. My continuing issue is member trepidation in using Tell them to "come on in, the water's warm".? ;-) Their concerns, of course, will depend on the member's background and the nature of your group. Feel free to relate some of the concerns here if you'd like suggestions about addressing them. Also, GMF's wiki is readable by the public - feel free to pass on links to any pages that might seem helpful. Each page has a link icon near the upper right which you can copy/paste as a reference to that page.

Re: Moderator Changing Subscriber's Display Name
Chris, Odd; any trial changes I have made (on two lists!) do show the D/N of the target subscriber. True, but that's not what I'm concerned about. My group might have a dozen members with a Display Name of "Chris", but which one did a co-moderator just change to "Chris Jones"? Absent the member's email address I can't necessarily uniquely identify them.

Re: Moderator Changing Subscriber's Display Name
Chris, IMHO there is still a glitch in the system in that a Moderator changing a Member's Display Name is still being recorded as a Member Activity rather than a Moderator Activity. Interesting point. Actually I'd argue it should be in both, as an action by a moderator that affects a member. The same as a change of role is listed in both. My reasoning is that if a tug-of-war happened between a member and a mod changing the member's Display Name I'd hate to have to figure that out by cross-referencing both lists. I suppose the counter-argument is that I could use the All list in that case. But speaking of which, I just noticed a much worse problem. The entry identifies the moderator who did it, but not the member whose Display Name was changed. Oops! I've added that to my support thread.

Re: Moderating Posts Based on Filtered Words
Marcio,
Do you think we should suggest it again?I would have suggested just replying in favor Samuel's suggestion, and I may do that, but given how far off the rails that thread has gone perhaps it would be best if you start a new topic. If you do, I suggest including a reference to Samuel's suggestion, to save people the trouble of pointing it out to you. Hopefully that will also discourage them from reiterating all the chaff about general moderation approaches and the futility of group guidelines.

Re: Comcast Rate Limiting
David,
So it seems as though Comcast is doing some kind of rate limitingCorrect. And as Marcio related, Groups.io is aware of the issue, but it can only be solved by Comcast. Is there a way to tell Comcast not to rate limit emails from thePresumably a Comcast customer can contact their support somehow. When they do they should include a copy/paste of that response you saw, along with the information that Groups.io is an email list service and that many Comcast customers subscribe to Groups.io. Groups.io is both the company name and the domain of the delivering service. The IP address 66.175.222.12 that Comcast cited is indeed Groups.io's outbound email server. The information at the link provided in the response suggests that "This rate limiting policy is based on historical volumes and quality of that volume." I'm not sure what they mean by "quality" of that volume. That may be the average spam score according to their filters, and if so it may help to have all Comcast users mark group messages as "not spam" should they ever land in the Spam folder rather than the Inbox.
