Cancel Member Transfer portion of Group Transfer #addmembers #transfer


Peter Holtzman
 

Hello,
I submitted a Transfer request a while ago, and only then was I let know there were 950 groups ahead of me with each group transfer taking roughly 10 minutes each, thus a waiting time of over a week!? In order to get the new group up and running I manually added all the members to the new Groups.io group and could afford to wait for the archives and files to transfer when they were ready.? However, there are a bunch of members that I transferred, who had over the years stopped being interested in the group and instead of removing themselves, just sent the messages to spam.? Now upon transfer they are doing the same which automatically removes them from the new group.? There are still 350 groups ahead of mine, but I definitely don't want to re-add them back to the group. I tried to uncheck the Transfer members checkbox in the transfer status page, but it is greyed out.? How do I request that the members are not re-added once Groups.io gets around to transferring my group?? Thanks for the help!

Peter

I don't think you can.? It might annoy those people, but they can do the same thing again after they're added.? There's also a link in the "You've been added email" they'll receive (assuming you asked for everyone to be notified) they can click on to be removed.? One click shouldn't be too annoying.

That is a profoundly unsatisfying response. With 58.33 hours notice we cannot somehow ¡°recall the missiles¡±? People get very pissy about being spammed, and if we are repeatedly re-adding them to a group they no longer want to be a part of, that is spamming them. I¡¯d like to avoid that. I hope there is a way to avoid needlessly annoying people.?

Well, you could have avoided it by not adding them in the midst of the transfer process.? Your only hope now is to contact [email protected], but they haven't done it for other groups.? That's why it's so important to understand the transfer process and follow the steps exactly.
