While we're writing a wish list for polls, it would be a big help to be able to email results to only the moderator(s), rather than the group as it is now. There are times when a poll is done to help

I agree that this being added to the activity log would be wonderful! Ginny

Another poll suggestion: would it be possible to have a link to the "results so far" to send the group via a message in the poll thread? I'm looking for a simple way to update group members on the

I would prefer you as "stunningly gullible" rather than "cynically jaundiced" ;-) David

Yes, I am stunningly gullible. I just noticed the date on Gary's message. Oh, dear. I was had. And if you believed my posting, so were you. Embarrassed at yet again falling for an April Fool's

Gary Greenberg, author of the email below, has an EXTREMELY dry sense of humor, and yet this is not a joke. He has moderated the OEM list-serv of 3,000+ professional members since 1993 using an

Could "responded to poll" be added as an activity in the logs (group's member activity log, and individual member activity log)? -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author. Especially the

Duane, that's exactly what I meant. It should stay in the same thread, precisely so that members see it when they see the notification that the chat has been opened. J -- J Messages are the sole

While we're wishing... I would prefer that it be a reply to the Open Chat announcement rather than a new one. I think that could help prevent further confusion since they'd be directly

Currently, if you try to join a closed chat via the message (notification) that the chat was opened, you are taken to the list of open chats. This will be confusing for many people. I think a note

Changes to the site this week: SYSADMIN: Updated IP block lists BUGFIX: There was a bug when trying to update a credit card, it wouldn't register. CHANGE: For a moderated thread, allow replies to go

I eliminated SPAM and bogus signups from my Forums and CRM sites by using ZBBLOCK (http://spambotsecurity.com/zbblock.php) Maybe Mark could look at implementing some elements of this?

Mark, I guessed wrong about email versus website, which means the addresses aren't necessarily compromised accounts. That the addresses are valid is consistent with an experiment I tried. Entering

Thank you, Mark. I did mention I wondered if the sign up box on my website was the cause, it sounds like it was a major factor. I am happy to remove it from my site if it would help and just provide a

Hi All, (messages to this thread were moderated earlier today because the thread was more than 2 weeks old. I've removed moderation on the thread). I spent the last few hours investigating this.

Our experience has been that open groups seem to attract the largest amounts of bogus joiners. And, if you have a group specifically targeted, as we do to a rare disease or similar tight focus the

Mark, enjoy your vacation to Europe I hope you enjoy your time.

Mark, Helen wrote: Perhaps it would help if the Pending Approval list could be sorted or filtered by NC status. Of course, that still doesn't help find the "legit" applicants who happen to still be

If this is a box on groups.io, I think it's an interesting idea, and even nicer if I don't see the applications to join unless it's completed properly. I just hope it isn't too much for some people

Thank you. I have always had a questionnaire before you can join any of my groups. Unfortunately it doesn't really help in this situation. One of my groups is completely untouched by this problem, the
