Michael (OP) has developed this work around, but it takes extra time to moderate/change the messages, so that's why he's asking to be able to turn off hashtags completely. Duane

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 without asking Mark to provide a kill switch. What really bothers me about the unwanted hashtags, is the fact that they show up and establish themselves on the start page with each calender event. I have asked about this in GMF, but there was no solution suggested.

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

Hashtag OFF switch(es)
#suggestion
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 and continuing extra work (Moderation). Anyone who wants to use Hashtags should, but why force others? My groups use: Messages/Topics archive, Calendar, Photos, and Files. We do not use: Hashtags, Polls, Chats, Databases, Wiki, Subgroups, or Integrations (RSS). Our only 'use' for Hashtags is in Calendar in order to Moderate and remove them, ALONG with unwanted prefixes e.g. "Upcoming Event: " and repetitive Date and Time elements (which should also be able to be turned off) We don't send out a Guidelines yet, but would also Moderate the Hashtags off. I would move them from Message footers, but Guidelines functions similarly to Calendar.

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 to be handled by the person that's removed, whether it's an accident on their part or their email provider's error. Duane

Markdown paragraph interrupted by list doesn't render as list
#bug
Christopher Warrington
The Markdown message editor says that it's using GitHub flavored Markdown.
(Current version at [1].) I'm not sure if it's using an older version, has some missing features, or has a bug here. The following GFM paragraph [2] [3] should be a paragraph followed by a list. Foo - bar - baz When I put that into the message editor and click preview, I get a message that has all three lines run together with the dashes in the middle. Sort of like this: Foo - bar - baz I've not explicitly tested the Wiki editor.

Markdown lines that end with a \ are not hard wrapped
#bug
Christopher Warrington
The Markdown message editor says that it's using GitHub flavored Markdown.
(Current version at [1].) I'm not sure if it's using an older version, has some missing features, or has a bug here. The following Markdown paragraph should be rendered across at least three lines, as I'm using a backslash to indicate a hard line break [2]. This is the first line.\ And here is the second.\ Now the third. When I put that into the message editor and click preview, I get a message that has all three lines run together with the slashes in the middle. Sort of like this: This is the first line.\ And here is the second.\ Now the third. The two spaces variant of a hard line break renders across three lines as I expected.

It would be handy if the Past members display that currently exists for Premium groups had a "reinstate" function of some kind...effectively Direct Adding that account back to the group.

They have delegated responsibility. Just because an option works for you does not always make it suitable for others. powerless moderatorsA moderator has additional privileges so by definition they are not powerless. We are happy with the change Mark has made so far but if it gets rolled back then we should be able to work around that with the second option mentioned by Chris. I will test it myself beforehand though. Enough said on this I think. Andy

I find it curious that you don't seem to trust your committee enough to make them essentially powerless moderators and yet you want to give them a special power to essentially issue broadcast messages.
I think option 1 would work fine for you. We have several people, classed as Mentors, who have option 1 privilege. They are part of our second level in our nonprofit and have never violated their privileges in several years. Either you trust people or you don't. -- Bob Bellizzi

Re: Add Save Draft Button to Messages and New Topic
#suggestion
I also am not in favor of another button, but I would be happy enough if there were a "Draft saved" message flyover as is done in gmail.com when composing/editing messages or replies.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I would also suggest that drafts be saved when editing a message. I have confirmed (the hard way) that drafts are not saved during an edit message session. I did submit this latter idea as a suggestion here on beta, but it has never shown up. I recently changed my account for this group and I am still on NMM, but my messages seem to just be disappearing into the ether, so maybe another suggestion would be to add a "reason" response if a message is being rejected. -- Gerald
