Member with "Posting Always Allowed" could not post to "Announcement-Only Group" #bug

I’m guessing that it was a bug when members *could* post to that group. Seems like nobody except moderators should be able to post to an “announcement only” group.

Was there a change about this recently, or is this possibly a new bug?

I can provide details privately.

Thanks,

It's not a bug. "Posting Always Allowed" does not apply to an "Announcement-Only Group" but rather to default group settings. If members previously posted, it would mean something had to have changed since then.
