Hi Mark, The top priorities for my groups are Scheduled Files and a Links Library. Thanks, Linda

Hi Mark, Here's a rundown of our needs. My groups are animal rescue related, so for our purposes we need links, files and spreadsheets. We are storing specific links to articles/blogs/etc related to

I like the reroute-to-owner idea. Then at that point give the owner the opportunity to flag them as spam. I'm all for avoiding those festering pits. Trish

Perhaps it'd be useful to share and talk about the feature roadmap for Groups.io, especially in light of the recent conversation. Here's what I've been thinking, please let me know your thoughts. -

Hmm, I have always been against allowing non-subscribers to post to groups, because that leads to dead groups that are festering pits of spam. I had not considered making it an option that those

Chris, I've no problem with it being opt-out, in the sense of having a place during the join and invite mechanisms where the option is pre-checked. But I believe that the option must be fairly

Mark, Ah, I was wondering how that differed from the group's posting address. Very important that messages to that address be moderated (at least optionally) - which I think you said has or will be

Hah. I literally LOLed at this. My wife and I have 13 month old twins, so, yeah, we generally are weary these days... Mark

Welcome to the group Trish! We already support the full list of email commands, just like Yahoo, except that we use a '+' instead of '-' before the commands (so groupname+join@groups.io, etc). You

There is not. But you can create an email integration, which is a unique email address, that can be used to send messages to the group. Yep. Mark

There should definitely be a mechanism for users to delete all of their content in a group on Groups.io. The question is whether it should be opt in or opt out. If someone needs to opt into the

walkraft, That's what the Invite mechanism does: sends the person an email. Their reply to that message adds them to the group's mailing list. Providing the person with the group's +subscribe address

markf@corp.groups.io sendis: I disagree with you. It doesn't have to be "new, modern and fresh". Just because english doesn't have a word for it (in dutch:degelijk), doesn't mean people can't

A few further points, In terms of categorisation, I agree with that tags tend to be a better solution ... Replying to an email address to subscribe is a really nice solution. It doesn't require the

Of course mods should have the option to use keywords (and maybe punished if they use them falsely). Since there's just a hundred groups under groups.io now , it's not very urgent to install

Hi Mark, There are definitely some advantages to growing slowly, but I suspect that the growth of this service would still take significant time even if you were to aggressively promote Groups.io. At

Mark, *wary* - or perhaps you _are_ simply weary. ;-) I agree with you about starting "sponsored" groups. Better to find ways to recruit subject-matter enthusiasts to create "organic" groups. Yup.

Hi Mark, I really like the idea of group owners being able to add tags to their group that are then searchable by people who are trying to find groups to join. Unlimited tags would be nice. Some

Integrations can now be moderated. When adding or updating an integration, there is a checkbox that indicates the integration should be moderated. Mark

Walkraft, Thank you! Your passion and desire to help are awesome. I approached Groups.io as a project that would most likely grow slowly. It's in a field with established competitors, and at first
