Re: Notice For a Message Needing Approval (i.e.: New Users Moderated)

Of course this was because she needed to be approved before posting (this was her first post on the group).It won't help for those people that don't read the messages, but I include this in our Welcome notice for new members: "All new members will have their messages moderated (checked) before they will be posted.? There may be delays, sometimes extended, depending on when a moderator can get to it.? After you've made a few posts and we know that you're following the Guidelines, the delay will be removed.? It may be returned at a later time though if your posts don't meet the Guidelines."

Re: QUESTION About joining Groups io
Lavon,
YES she added our group address and posted to groups io ...So, if she's not a member of your AOL group, how do her messages in a groups.io group get transmitted to your AOL group members? Does your AOL group allow non-members to post to the group? Can't your AOL group block her messages? I don't know anything about AOL, but I would expect that AOL's group software allows your group's owners / moderators to remove, ban, or otherwise block her (or anyone) from posting to the group. when we were an active AOL group."Were"? Presumably you still _are_ an active AOL group. I'm still failing to understand how she and her Groups.io group(s) are causing a problem for your AOL group. Can you describe for me a sequence of events? 1) She posts to a Groups.io group that she created. 2) That message goes out to the members of her Groups.io group. 3) If your AOL group's posting address is in her Groups.io group's membership then a copy of her message arrives at your AOL group. 4) It is at this point that I'd expect your AOL group software to reject her message (because she's not a member of your AOL group). That should be the end of it, her message doesn't reach you or your AOL Group's other members. Where has my understanding failed?

Re: QUESTION About joining Groups io
Lavon,
she took our group and added the group to groups ioYou've said that several times, but I still don't know what you mean by "took your group". If she's not even a member of your group, in what way did she "take" it? An external group (such as an AOL group, whatever that is), cannot be a member of a Groups.io group. Only individual email addresses can be added to a Groups.io group. So that leaves me with the questions I asked before: If you don't understand my questions, please ask for clarification.Did she add your AOL group's posting address to a Groups.io group? Perhaps you can describe what happened in greater detail. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: ADDING TO SUBGROUP
Ellen,
Our distribution list has a new member and I am having a problemIn the Admin group of pages there's a Subgroups page. This is different from the Subgroups page further down, outside of Admin. In the Admin Subgroups page is a list of your primary group members, and columns for each subgroup. To add (or remove) a member to a subgroup check (or uncheck) the box in the member's row, in the column for the particular subgroup. Then at the bottom of the page click the blue Update button. You can use the search box at the upper right to find the new member, or sort the table by the Name or Email columns.

Re: QUESTION About joining Groups io
Lavon,
This wasn't her group she didn't create it . It was created by myselfAnd you said this was a group on AOL? ... she took it upon herself to add our group to groups io ...This is the part I still don't understand. What is it that you mean when you say she added your AOL group to Groups.io? Did she add your AOL group's posting address to a Groups.io group? Did she collect the email addresses of your AOL group's members and add them to a Groups.io group? Or did she simply create a Groups.io group with the same name as your AOL group? Without some clarity on exactly what happened I don't know how to advise you.

Re: can you schedule a special notice to go out on a specific date and time
Linda,
can you schedule a special notice to go out on a specific date andNot directly. But you can create an event (in the calendar) for that date and time, and check the "Send Notice To Group When Event Happens (tagged with #cal-notice)" box at the bottom of the Reminders section for that event. Add no other reminders, and select the green "Add Event" button w/o inviting the group. To make that notice a Special notice, you can use a hashtag with the "Special" box checked. You may not want to check that box in the default #cal-notice hashtag (that would affect notices from all events), but you can add a hashtag of your choosing to the event's "Event Name" field. That will affect the formatting of the message somewhat. Along with the default #cal-notice hashtag it will include the day and date in the subject line. It will include the Event Name in the body as a bold text header, and include a "When:" and "Description:" label in bold text.

Re: QUESTION About joining Groups io
Lavon,
I'm not sure I understand what happened. Did she create a group at Groups.io, then add your email addresses to that new group? There are two ways that can be done. One is that she could have Invited all of your email addresses to join the Groups.io group. You're all free to ignore that invitation and you would not then be members of the Groups.io group. The other is that, if
she's paying for a Premium Groups.io group, you may receive a notice that you've been added to her Groups.io group. If so that notice would have contained an opt-out.
She can have as many groups on Groups.io as she wishes, but that doesn't mean that anyone else has to participate in those groups. If you didn't opt out in the first place, just leave her groups.
If you believe that she has violated Groups.io's Terms of Service you can report that to [email protected], but simply adding you to a group wouldn't ordinarily be a violation. It might become a violation if she does it repeatedly in a manner that may be considered harassment or spamming.

As a new service, Groups.io allows anyone to create any group they wish, as long as the name hasn't been taken.? If folks don't join the group, it may go away eventually, but I don't believe there's a fixed amount of 'idle' time required.
