If you write to the owner address, your message will go to those who get those messages.

'Contact Group Owner' appears on messages.

Group addresses from the website

BTW I don¡¯t understand why not all groups list their owners/mods, like we do here

Otto,

?

That content is on that group¡¯s home page.? That is content managed by the group owner(s)/moderator(s).? It is not part of the regular home page template.

Rush, I assume you are not a moderator or owner of the group.?
If you were, you could use Admin, Members, and limit to owners / moderators.

However, the best was, as mentioned, is email the official Group Owners email address on the group homepage.

Some groups do, some don't.? Others have the information in another area, such as the Guidelines, so that it's not posted publicly.? It's an individual decision by the group owner(s), based on the needs of the group.

I know. I¡¯m not saying that ?should enforce, or even suggest it, but why don¡¯t more do it themselves?

Frances, Thanks for your hint !? This provided the information I was looking for.
?
As it turns out I am one of the owners, but hadn't used the Admin functions as someone else was primary..
?
Until you provided the hint to filter on Moderator, the all members list did flag who were owners/moderators.

Not all groups want to expose the group owners and/or their email addresses to
the public. Also, sometimes groups get a member who gets mad and tries to
disrupt things. If the owners/moderators were listed, that could mean they would
have to deal personally with the person.

I don't list the owners/moderators in any of the 20+ groups I manage on the
group home page. If they need to communicate with us, the group-owner address is
the usual way to do so. I have not encountered any groups I am part of that
lists these.

Some ham radio groups you may be interested in:
/g/ICOM /g/Ham-Antennas
/g/HamRadioHelp /g/Baofeng
/g/CHIRP

 

Oh I can think of some ... for example, if the group is a support group of some kind, especially if for things like mental health/medical or other sensitive issues and topics.? If you have a group with selected individuals - maybe a family group, where you might wish to keep any kind of contact info just within the group and not to non-members?? Maybe a legal group or something of similar?type, don't want angry?past clients to find you.? I mean, each group is different, however I can see certain situations needing to not make that info readily known/available.

I agree, Don. I don¡¯t particularly want to do that. I¡¯m pretty visible within my group, and I may be missing something but I don¡¯t see a reason to share with the public.?

"I¡¯m not saying that should enforce, or even suggest it, but why don¡¯t more do it themselves?

Otto" in ref. to groups listing the names of mods, owners, etc.

I run a large number of genealogy or genealogy society focused groups. My name is irrelevant to 99% of the users, because they care about the topic, not the community surrounding it. Those involved in the community aspect know who run the group and are the most likely volunteer mods.?

Your mileage may vary.
