I've just had a large group transferred and most of it looks really good. I added myself as a test member and found that the new account was already subscribed to 2 groups. The other group was "updates" with 527,000 members and single message delivery.

The last thing in the world I want is for all the group members I'm soon going to be adding to be getting single messages (even just once a week) for a very technical group that they didn't explicitly join.

I know one can just unsubscribe, but can this default setting be disabled? I thought I saw a checkbox somewhere, but I am unable to locate it now. Did I imagine it?

Michael,

Are all group members automatically added to updates group?

During a transfer from a Y!Group, yes.

"CHANGE: With yahoo group transfers, add a note saying members have been
added to the updates group."

I know one can just unsubscribe, but can this default setting be
disabled?

Not that I know of.

I thought I saw a checkbox somewhere, but I am unable to
locate it now. Did I imagine it?

It is on the Sign Up form if you create a new account via the Groups.io web site. I think that may have also been somewhere when a person accepts an invitation.

I think Mark would prefer that most people be in the Updates group in case there's some system-wide event or problem, so he can then contact them via a Special Notice.

Is anyone else receiving weekly emails from the Updates group? I can't recall ever getting one. If I want to view the change log, I have to proactively go to that group page and read it.

Having all members as web-only readers is probably fine. But I see
"Single" as the delivery option.

If no one ever gets an email, that's fine. If they are interested in
updates, they can go and look.

I wish the transfer form made it clear that the checkbox applies to
ALL future members of that group, not just to the group owner.

I don't want my subscribers bothered with GIO system details either. In practice, it has not been a problem.

There is a hashtag option called "No Email." I suspect Mark has that enabled for the #changelog tag in the Updates group.
