Problem with website blocking automatically composing emails

Add ability to report or flag a post
#suggestion

It would be nice if in the "more options" menu under posts we also had the option to "report" or "flag" a post so that an alert is sent to moderators and owners that attention to that post is needed. Most of our groups are moderated so this will likely not be used often in those - but I can see how this could be very useful in unmoderated groups, so that mods can know they can reply on members to flag stuff that needs attention, violates guidelines, etc. Maria

Re: Problem with invalid email address?
It's ironic that the need for figleafing in a public group has finally, by this example, made very concrete to me. This is a public group, and now that person's email address has been blasted to the world at large.

Problem with invalid email address?
I have a potential member, from one of the Yahoo groups I moderate, who has had trouble getting registered for Groups.io. He reported in a Yahoo group a problem joining groups.io groups. His email address is larryjohn216@.... I just tried to invite this email address to one of my groups here and get an error message: "Invalid email address"Anyone know what the problem is or know of a way to work around this issue?

My preference, too, but I was assuming there was some logistical reason for not including the old name. Actually, it would only need to say "from [old display name]", because the new display name is already at the beginning of the sentence. Messages are the sole opinion of the author.

I'm thinking of capping it at 10 groups per account. Thoughts?Coming into the conversation really late. I used to (^1) moderate roughly 25 lists on YahooGroups, that revolved around a single software program. Other than the off-topic list, and the flame list, they revolved around a specific program, with each list focusing on a specific use-case or target audience. If I didn't understand how sub-groups worked, and wanted to migrate them to Groups.IO, I'd probably make 25+ lists, all in a single day. As it is, I can't tell if the import group process offered by Groups.IO is able to import each YahooGroup, into a sub-group. If a cap on groups is imposed, include at least a dozen completely different scenarios describing how sub-groups replaces the need for additional groups. If the import process can import multiple existing groups, into the appropriate sub-group, describe that process within the scenarios. One area that sub-groups might not work in, is when the existing/proposed groups use different languages for communication purposes. ^1: Roughly six years ago, the lists migrated to a web forum. I didn't delete them, and they are, for all practical purposes, defunct. jonathon

That "dinnertime" should have been "something." I also didn't enter that and have no idea how it came to be inserted. -- A lot of what appears to be progress is just so much technological rococo. ~ Bill Gray

Then put that in your group rules and enforce those. That is in your purview. You require a degree of responsiveness from your members that is very degree typical and if people sign up with those expectations made explicit you have grounds for enforcement. Speaking strictly for myself I would not consent to this degree of scrutiny nor requirement for responding. That's not dinnertime I feel you have the right to demand but if you do and someone consents that's on them if the expectations are explicitly a condition of membership. Expecting this implicitly is unreasonable in an online forum.

you still cannot effectively enforce it no matter what. Ok, I'm back in. LOL. Think about the practicalities, then. A user is ignoring a mod and we don't know it. They don't respond to that mod's latest piece of advice. So we don't know whether they haven't read or just haven't received it. Do we (I or another mod) then ask, "Did you see xyz [mod]'s post to you just now, about taking him off the drug?" and they don't answer that, because they haven't seen that, either. This can really go from bad to worse in a very short amount of time, leading to the mods group having to discuss the member, what to do about their non-responsiveness, etc., and most likely ending with the problem member being removed. Better to nip it in the bud and not allow them to ignore mods in the first place. Our group is our living room. Being a guest in our living room means you have to be polite. Being polite means acknowledging the existence of your hosts. Period. -- Messages are the sole opinion of the author. I wish I could shut up, but I can't, and I won't. - Desmond Tutu
