Re: Message marked "Objectionable" hides full thread?

 

Yes, report this message sends a message to the moderator/owner that:

[member name] wishes to inform you that the following message:



? ? ? ?is objectionable. They entered the following reason why it should be considered objectionable:

Once that message was received, the full thread was not showing in "Messages." ?Once I deleted the reported message, the thread came back, less the one I deleted.

There is nothing in the Activity Log noting the report being sent and no option I can find to reinstate the thread (other than deleting the reported message). ?I can find nothing in the help files on the subject of either reporting messages or?objectionable messages.

Peace,
Tom

As of today, 1/22/19, I have had two messages that I ¡®rejected¡¯ for posting that posted anyway.? This hasn¡¯t happened to me in the past and not sure if it is a ¡®groups.io¡¯ problem or if I¡¯m doing something wrong.? I HAVE passed this information on to support at groups.io BUT wanted to know of any of you managers are experiencing the same situation AND if so if you have a ¡®work around¡¯ until the issue is fixed.

Thanks,

Re: Items per page setting ignored when viewing activity log

 

There are a few places where infinite scroll (IS) doesn't work.? I know when looking at the activity log, it will work with any of the fixed numbers, but not IS. Same for a database.? I'm not sure why IS doesn't work on those, but 100 is usually more than I want to see at once.? It's been that way for some time.

Items per page setting ignored when viewing activity log

 

I have the Items per Page setting in my profile set to Infinite Scroll yet when I view the activity log it only shows 20.? Does anyone know if this is by design for some reason?

Would it be done through their email program / client?

Message marked "Objectionable" hides full thread?

 

We had a member mark a message within a thread as?objectionable and now the entire thread does not show, although if you access the original messages in the thread from the Activity Log, the thread is still there.

?

What I¡¯m assuming has happened is the thread was ¡°hidden¡± when it was marked?objectionable. ?(In this case it was not really?objectionable, it was just someone complaining about the wording.)

?

So how does a moderator/owner ¡°un-objectionablize¡± a message?? (Un-objectionablize is a technical term in case you are not familiar with it??)

?

I suggest waiting 24 hours for your new group to be approved before contacting support. It's generally done within an hour or two, though.

Re: Unmoderate new group members

 

To set different posting permissions for individual users compared to the group look at the profile for an individual user and go to the bottom section (Posting Privileges).

For example, if you have the whole group as moderated you should be able to set 'Override: Not moderated' for a member and let them post at will.

The most recent mention I could find on the beta group, although a year and a half old, seems to indicate that this will happen one day.?

Re: Members post and Groups.io unsubscribes them!

 

Brandy,

I thinking somebody will need to see those exact emails, both the ones from
group.io in the inbox and the ones that were sent from the sent folder.
There may be a clue in the mail headers about what might have triggered
this.

Most likely peeps viewing the website already know the 1st message (or at least the meat of the subject,) but wants to quickly see (or at least I do) the most recent msg to know whether to in open the topic and read the content.

Dan,

Where is the "overview page of all your groups"?
Click on the Groups.io logo on the top left (in the blue bar) of any page. If you're logged in that will show you a list of your subscriptions.

Re: Members post and Groups.io unsubscribes them!

 

Brandy,

No, they're not using one of those services.
Ok (good), that pretty much eliminates the removed for spam report mechanism.

... Mark told me to look on the static help pages and ask for help
here. I kinda thought they should know their own system and figure
this out. :-\ Little frustrated right now.
That only means that based on what you said it appeared to be something we should be able to figure out. Sort-of like the Carl Sagan adage that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Here is what happened with one member (shared with permission):

I read the message in gmail and hit reply in gmail. Then I just typed
my reply and hit send. This bounced back to me because my default
email address didn't match the registered address.

Then I hit reply again and copied my message from the other window
into this one and changed the reply email address. It went through
that time. I got the "sorry to see you go" a few minutes later. Don't
know which send triggered it.
A bounce from a non-subscriber address would be rejected, and noted in the Activity log ("Non-member ... attempted to send message"), but nothing more. In particular it couldn't have any effect on the subscribed address - the system would have no knowledge that those two addresses were in any way related.

So only the second send could possibly have triggered it, but it went through normally. So this indicates that the unsubscribe wasn't (directly) caused by the emailed message.

One other possibility:

Did this member forward this (or any other) group message on to someone else?

It is possible that the someone else received it and used the footer link to unsubscribe the member -- thinking that he/she would be unsubscribing him/herself. The footer Unsubscribe link contains an ID for the member corresponding to the email address shown next to it.

Morale of that story: always delete the footer before forwarding a group message.

Re: Members post and Groups.io unsubscribes them!

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Brandy,

I do not know if this is your problem or not, but may be something to check.? If any of your members receive a message marked as spam and the member deletes all the spam, they will be removed.? However, if this is the reason they are removed they should almost immediate receive a link to click on and reinstate themselves.? In this case it is their email client putting through the message as spam.? The only way to avoid this situation is the have the members mark any spam messages that are coming from Groups.io as not being spam before deleting the spam.? I know at one time Outlook, AOL, and Yahoo have been bad about that.

Maybe someone else will respond with any other possibilities.

Doug

Subject: [GMF] Members post and Groups.io unsubscribes them!
?
I just successfully transferred over my groups but Groups.io is automatically unsubscribing any of the members who post, even when replying to messages. What's going on and how do I stop this? It's set so members can post and new members should be moderated. Under message settings, the only things selected are disable message editing, virus blocking, and separate footer settings. None of those should be causing the members to have "left via web."

wait a few days, and?ck?if the old url still displays the old image, or redirects you to the home page.


Re: Members post and Groups.io unsubscribes them!

Could this phenomena be happening because attachments were set to bounce, so when someone replies from a mail program that treats the original response like an attachment, it's making part of the post bounce, so it will post to the group but then the member gets booted from the bounced attachment?

In the member's case I cited, she posted from a wrong email, it bounced, then she copied and pasted the message and sent with the right email. Perhaps Gmail treated it like an attachment that bounced?

Just in case, I changed settings so it will strip instead of bounce attachments.

I'm beginning to think Groups.io's bounce then boot policy needs serious rethinking.
