Re: Proposal: allow group owners to set message approval timeout
Maria
Also a moderator can "claim" the message on this system so that other mods don't touch it and accidentally approve it. Another great groups.io feature, which I think would resolve the issue you describe. Maria

Re: Proposal: allow group owners to set message approval timeout
But why couldn't they just delete or reject the message? This sounds like a moderator behavior issue rather than something calling for a software solution. J Sent from my iPhone

Re: Proposal: allow group owners to set message approval timeout
Hi, There might be times when a moderator or an owner may simply ignore a message, say, from a moderated member who posts a message that is considered off-topic. Another use case is to ignore spam from unregistered users or spambots,especially from places such as Linked In and what not and these are sent to the list address. Cheers, Joseph

I'm trying to understand this proposal, strictly out of curiosity. What do you mean that the message 'was not supposed to go to the list,' unless a moderator had already seen and rejected it? I'm not against this proposal but I don't understand it. It seems to be penalizing a group member for the group moderators' failure to act. ???

Proposal: allow group owners to set message approval timeout
Hi,
The following was observed on one of the lists I manage: an associate owner approved a message that was more than several days old and was not supposed to go to the list, causing confusion for some members.
Thus I’d like to propose having a timeout where group owners can specify how long a message needing to be approved stays until an automatic action is taken (remove the message, do not approve, etc.).
Thanks. Josep

Re: Stopping posting of photos in the file section?
Since the most common extension on photos is jpg, maybe disallow that in the File area? And possibly note that they must go in the Photo area when an attempt is made?

Re: moderator permissions for seeing +owner messages?
So it seems that only group owners have access to the individual member pages. Mark, I would suggest changing the wording in caveat on the member's "notes" section, which currently reads: "Notes are only viewable by group moderators." In fact, I might remove the caveat entirely, since only owners, not moderators, will even get to that page to read it. Messages are the sole opinion of the author. Especially the fishy ones.

Re: moderator permissions for seeing +owner messages?
In the group I am a Co-Owner of, we got around whether a moderator can see owner messages by making the 3 or us all Co-Owners. Doug

Stopping posting of photos in the file section?
Hello Mark and all Is there any way to stop members from uploading photos to the file sections? I spend way too much time sending members to the wiki for instructions (which of course they either can't understand or don't read before uploading) or looking for and deleting photos from the files. The photos take up huge amounts of data and of course are very difficult to view when not in an album.

Yes, but that isn't the issue. The issue is what they can see on the groups.io website.

p.s. It's under "owner email," down towards the bottom of the moderator's member page.

Re: moderator permissions for seeing +owner messages?
You can specify whether they get all owner messages, or owner messages just from subscribers (this includes pending members), or no owner messages.

The attachments should be uploaded immediately when the message is sent. There were errors (from Google) when you recently tested it, and I've been trying to track them down, but unfortunately haven't had any luck so far. Off list, can you give me some more information: when did the integration last work for you? Did you make any changes to your Google account since then? You should be able to fix it by logging out of the Google drive integration and then set it up again. But I need to find out why the integration 'went bad'. Thanks, Mark

Google Drive Integration
How often does the groups.io upload attachments to google drive? the reason i ask is,when i first set it up and posted a topic with an attachment and it up loaded immediately to google drive, since then i have posted a couple more topics with attachments and they still have not been uploaded to google drive. this happened the other day when i was testing google drive integration for our group. thanks, ricky kf5wvj
