Re: Moderating attachments from individual user
Thanks for confirming that this capability does not currently exist. I tried to be clear that the question was regarding moderation of attachments for an individual, not for everyone. I'm aware that admins can moderate attachments and other items for the entire group. I hope this feature request will be given serious consideration.
Thanks again. .? |

However, you can have a group-rule that top-posting/TOFU is not allowed. This used to be established netiquette The digests include the full text of each message, omitting any quotes of previous messagesNot quite. The autotrim simply removes everything under the lowest line that doesn't start with ">". Quotes above that line are left intact. I agree that it would be great to have the autotrim-feature for individual messages, but it seems I am in a tiny minority groetjes/?is, Ronaldo |

Re: Merging groups
I think Frances was asking how many total messages are in the message archives
in each group? There are a few approaches you could take to combining the groups and spinning one into a wilderness group. If you got everyone in one group to join the other, then changed the name of the group you want to be associated with wilderness, you'd have your new group. You could purge all the members of the wilderness group to get it started, and if there aren't a lot of messages, you could delete all of them and have a fresh group. Or leave them as members, change the name of the group, and let those who don't want to be part of the new group to leave the group. If you were thinking of merging all the messages into one, you'd need to contact Mark at groups.io to see if he could help you. You would probably not have them all in time/date order when you're done but it might be possible. If you don't mind losing the messages in the other group archive, or don't mind leaving them there, then it's a simpler situation. If your intent was to have the same members in both groups, that also is probably easy enough to do as long as everyone joins the other group if they're not already members. Just a few things to consider. Donald On Fri, 9 Jun 2023 11:01:48 -0400 (Eastern Daylight Time), "Gaige Beck" <rgaige2@...> wrote:

There's no way to keep people from quoting excess text/images except for proper training of members.? I think a lot of this is the fact that many email programs are, by default, set to include everything received in a quote when replying, but don't display it while the reply is being typed.? Many people don't even realize it's happening unless they go online to see what they've sent.? Unfortunately, email etiquette isn't a common thing any more.

Something that would make subgroups a *lot* more useful would be to
have more than one level of nesting. A (very) concrete example: the National Assocation of Rocketry has a group, groups.nar.org. Each NAR local club has a subgroup; my local club is FLARE-Members@.... It would be very helpful if it were possible to have subgroups of FLARE-members for the club officers, for our safety committee, for our equipment committee.... |

You said, "Looks like sub-groups won't be useful - as I had hoped - for temporary, private, attendee communication and resources for one-time events." I use a lot of sub-groups, and some of them are for "temporary, private, attendee communication and resources for one-time events." What I do is re-use the group for the next event, and use the wiki to list ALL the events, and links to the summary message if there is one, or just the name & date.? For instance, I have a public Conferences group, which has been used for quite a few different?meetings that some of our genealogy society might attend, and tell other interested folks about the sessions they attended, sales on products available during the conf., etc. You can see the group at?. When a new conference opens for registration, I just change the display name, update URLs etc. I made it because there were complaints in the main group about these conference discussions. I've done the same sort of thing with various study groups we've held, keeping track of them in the Wiki. Changing names and images is easy-peasy, and it's much easier to reuse a group than to delete and make new ones all the time. I don't echo the discussions in the main group because the point of a subgroup is that those who want to discuss there, will. Those who don't can ignore it. If they change their minds, and the group is public, they can always go back and read the discussions later. I would caution against copying private messages to make them public. Doing this might cause hard feelings. If you want to delete the private group, change its name to some nonsense first so you aren't locked out of a name for your future group.? Best, Valorie she/her.
