Here's a sample for you: Hello, Thank you for your interest in Groups.io and the group CatladysTestGroup@groups.io. To complete your subscription, please reply to this email. If you did not request -

You are welcome to run your own ads in your groups if you wish. I have no plans nor desire to ever deal with advertising again. Thanks, Mark

I will not even attempt to imagine what Mark's response might be - or that of any other beta subscriber - but what do your own members think of the idea? My own view is that one of the joys of

Several vendors have suggested that they would advertise on our group, thus offsetting the annual costs. Has this ever been considered by groups.io for Premium accounts?

Linda, Sorry for the confusion, and no problem! It was poorly written in a rush. 😊 My point there was that premium groups can direct add, which in essence lets them bypass the confirmation process

Sorry J, This is your statement which I misinterpreted: (BTW this is not a problem in premium restricted groups, since accepting the application automatically confirms the member. That was my

Mark, yes, that’s what I was referring to. Thanks! -- 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.

Linda, Well, I’m glad to hear I understood your request! However, I am not advocating or suggesting getting rid of NC! Just saying there have been some problems with it. I think they’re fixable

Hello, I don't want my original request to Mark to get buried. At least J understands what I'm asking for. Note that I'd be perfectly fine with the elimination of the NC designation completely, as J

In the mean time we can at least download the member list as a CSV file and sort it by User Status (0=Not Confirmed, 1=Confirmed, 2=Inactive, 3=Bouncing, 4=Bounced). Then send all the 0's reminder

I just re-wrote the system (that I initially wrote earlier in the week...) so that it automatically re-writes the From line for messages authored by senders being sent back to themselves for all Gmail

If you're referring to BCCing yourself on a private reply to a message, that should be fixed now. Thanks, Mark

Bruce, Mark knows all about the missing confirmation email problem and there’s been at least one extended thread here about it. It’s not serving it’s function since commonly, the pending

It's been awhile since I've seen a confirmation email. We should probably capture an example to put in the GIO help or the GMF wiki. Is there some feature of it that suggests they are more likely to

The confirmation emails often get lost. This has been an ongoing problem for years. There is a cohort here that tends to respond to many, I'd even say most, feature requests with "that's a management

By and large I think that is a fair point, but.. Confirming their membership requests is something that they ought to be doing for themselves, without moderator intervention. The (restricted) group I

In fact I'll strongly disagree with you. I just went into the third group I moderate and found NC's scattered all throughout the 1000+ member list, some of them several pages in. That particular group

I'll agree to disagree with you on this. I think it's a failure more of notification than of "failure to manage." -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My

All my groups are restricted and I don't get a notification that newmembers are still NC. I have to visit my groups (aka "manage mygroups") to see that... despite greatly preferring to manage viaemail

Actually I just double-checked that, and it's not. :-) It's not included in the dropdown actions that you can do after selecting a member. However, having all the NC members in one group at the top of
