I was referring to error reporting and feature requests in consolidating all functions to the beta group, thus the canning of Canny. In no shape or form should there be a help request

I'm not talking about bias of any kind. And I think this has gone too off-topic into why I personally don't join moderated groups. So I won't be responding further on that issue, except to mention

What I was wondering too. In my 20 months on this list, contributing occasionally and reading (or at least glancing at) every post, I've seen no evidence of any bias in the moderation. --

Why, exactly? Chris

Except for possibly canning Canny, which I support, and/or reverting to allowing bug reports in beta, which I would also support (but have no strong feelings about), that is almost certainly not going

I concur, consolidating all functions to the beta group and "canning" Canny makes the most sense. RC

I feel very strongly about GMF being set to NuM *if* it is going to continue to be the officially mandated help group for groups.io (which you can't really argue that it's not, even given the

Group Help doesn't really have critical mass.-- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together. -

Group_Help also offers to help other users and is NuM. Mark has suggested both that and GMF as sources of assistance. Duane

One problem is "enforcement" (or "encouragement") of disallowing basic help questions and bugs to be posted on beta. This occurs frequently and nobody likes playing cop and telling people, especially

I really like the idea of having 3 separate groups for those various strands. As the owner of a couple of free groups (I transferred my groups to io when it was still free, yahoo group owner for 15

Yes, please try not to allow beta to be overrun with help requests again. I also wonder about the name "beta." Maybe should be renamed "gamma." :) -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author,

I like the idea of using this group for everything. It keeps it all in one place, thus easier to follow. And with the addition of (moderator only) #closed, #planned, etc, it would duplicate much of

Are you saying that bug reports would start going to beta again instead of to support? I'm all for this, simply because sometimes the difference between a bug and a feature is unclear, and also

Thank you Duane, Yes, on the groups/events I own I have the reminder set to the day before the event to mitigate this issue. That is not as effective as getting the reminder, say, 30 minutes before

Hi All, So, it seems that some people are using Canny to submit feature requests and that it can be a useful tool for doing so. I do see a few drawbacks: - There are still a bunch of posts to beta

It is definitely a sisyphean one! -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together. - Desmond

Only moderators (of premium groups) can log into canny anyway, so I don't know what you mean. Do you mean on beta? This thread is about feature suggestions on canny. Plus, the "backlog" of requests

If the reminder is set to be sent sooner, it would come out in the digest from the previous day. Sometimes the digest isn't considered by the person setting the reminder, so they set it for 5 minutes
