My current Invitation emails shows Invitation to join the KBlist@groups.io group It can look a lot like spam, esp when I have my co-moderator do the inviting (since the recipient may not know

Well we shouldn't be. For the record, I asked for that feature years ago for premium groups, based on the fact that essentially, premium groups already confirm their own members since they can

Yes, we are. "Edit email addresses & confirm members" is clearly labeled as a feature of a Premium/Enterprise group on the pricing page. Duane

We're not really talking about a premium feature. We're talking about removing a PITA. That should be standard, not extra.-- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy

The other solution is to make a system change. I see no reason not to. It is not in my budget to support two premium groups, and the second one has less than 100 members. -- J Messages are the sole

It just dawned on me that there's a super simple answer to this, and J mentioned it in the first message - Upgrade your group to Premium. Confirming members is one of the things you get when you pay

Mark, if we cannot all understand and accept that life is upended for everyone no and for the foreseeable future, we're in trouble. I do believe that at the end of this, there will be some good that

Jim -- I'm not aware of a system message that contains anything of this nature. Are you sure it's not a problem with one of your own Member Notices? Could you please send us a copy of what you're

I agree entirely with that... the only problem is that it is quite common to get no response to the Pending Subscription message; even a couple of reminders can fail to get a response. Chris

Exactly! I've complained about the text of the confirmation email many times before. It says to click to "complete your membership." In the case of a restricted group with a questionnaire, it does not

The text of the Groups.io Confirmation message leads many applicants to believe they only need to respond to 1 email. | Hello, | | Thank you for your interest in Groups.io and the group

Not saying anything is needed immediately. Nothing is needed immediately. But something is needed. We are just stressed to the max around here with the group being organized around the pandemic,

Well, as you mentioned earlier, just send them an invitation and all is settled. No change needed immediately, so further thought could go into which, if any, should be made. Maybe add information

I am remembering the bad old days before I made my main group a premium group, and all the hassles we had with NC members. It's happening all over again - having to post huge warnings on the home page

[Mod note: One way to solve this is to put everyone on digest and then for really important messages, send them out as special notices. I approved this message as a start to a discussion as to whether

The system doesn't have to keep track of whether or not a member returned a questionnaire. I use a pending membership questionnaire in my groups and I, the owner keeps track to see if one was

My preference as well but may not really be doable, since it would require the system to keep track of whether or not a member returned a questionnaire. I think, though, that the group approving a
