In cases where there are multiple owners and/or Mods with the relevant permissions, for clarity, <owner name> should really be <owner/mod doing the DA>. Andy

When a subscriber is Direct Added, the first email they get is a canned message which the owner can not control except to insert text in the middle. Some portions of that canned text can be

The confirmation page for unfollowing a topic asks "unfollow this thread?" but should be "topic" -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up

Changing a role from Moderator to Member is logged as "changed moderator permissions" but should be "changed role." -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My

I don't see a setting for requiring edited messages to be moderated. I would prefer that, at minimum, moderators should receive a notice of the edit, regardless of their settings. I don't really

Not certain this is a bug rather than an unavoidable limitation. My expectations might be unrealistic :-) If an email account is set up to auto-forward to a GIO group, then the resulting messages

Quite; I eventually worked out that those were the real subject of both this and the corresponding GMF thread; it is far from clear there as well. Chris

To clarify: Simple switch(es) to turn off imposed (so called 'System') Hashtags. Of course, any group should be able to require whatever hashtags they desire to be used in their group(s).

Chris, Groups.io automatically adds hashtags to Calendar notices. There is no controls to prevent that, only Hashtag Moderation workarounds... OK, "imposed" would have been better verbiage to

Have a look at the topic https://groups.io/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/71935945 for a way to prevent the hashtags from being included/added. Michael (OP) has developed this work around, but it takes

Ah... what you are concerned about are System Hashtags, or at least a sub - set of them. Not quite the same as "hashtags" in general. Chris

Chris, you worte: Indeed so, and for perfectly proper reasons, but it doesn't force any other group to use the things. IMHO it is perfectly straightforward to prevent the use of hashtags now

Everyone - for example in this group . See „new group Charter“. But there are good reasons for this. I think this setting should remain a decision of the group owner. Thomas

Who, exactly, is "forced" to use hashtags? Chris

Simple switch(es) to turn off all Hashtags in our group(s). Groups.io worked without Hashtags. This should be an Opt-In 'feature', or at least have an Opt-Out option(s) that don't require Workarounds

Changes to the site this week: INTERNAL: Work on a new help center. BUGFIX: If an event had '<<' in the name, the group event notice would not be generated correctly. BUGFIX: Export user wasn't

This is a different situation. Premium groups can already Direct Add members, while Basic groups can't. This would be a modification/continuation of that feature on paid groups. Removed for spam has

I doubt if this one will fly; there is no immediate means of knowing where and by whom the message was marked as spam. I have a suspicion that implementing your suggestion would cause more problems in
