Secret Private Groups
-
@Minion-Queen has asked me to test some new email notification options in another forum. Problem is, the more we add, the more likely every update will break stuff. So we are wary of doing more than necessary.
-
I hate email notifications. i have all email notifications turned off on every social site I use.
-
I used to be like that with some, but due to other notification problems I went back to that.
-
It depends on the forum. The NodeBB Community I only visit once every few weeks so having email to tell me that someone is responding to me is nice. I only get two emails a week or so.
-
There are areas of say FB that I want to, need to be notified so I am aware of changes as they occur. So for these areas I have them enabled.
Let's say I just loved reading the Anything Goes thread.. I would like to subscribe to that via email so I could get the updated posts as soon as they were posted... - this is just an example as I would never subscribe to this thread...

Funny that you, who dislike FB a lot more than me, have FB notifications but I have none
-
Makes sense to me. As long as they are used in this way, it does not seem like a problem. My two cents.

I only hate FB in that they basically broadcast any bit of data about you they can to the globe (or the highest payer - i.e. NSA). Private groups are great, but as I mentioned with being a member of so many forums... without notices I wouldn't be able to keep up.
Through my SW club I have over 500 FB friends, makes for an insane daily feed. Over time I've unsubscribed to those I generally don't know except by the club so their daily lives stuff doesn't clutter my feed, but it's still insane.

I don't get a huge amount of email,.. but I really dont' need more notifications via emails. It would take some getting used to... but the notifications here are reasonable... thus far anyway.

I disagree with a secret private group being set up here except if it's solely for NTG employees.
Why?
a. I've seen over and over the result of these secret areas. It's never pretty and the bile regularly spewed forth I not something that is healthy for the longevity of the community.
b. If there was one for NTG employees then, ironically, I'm ok with that. I trust that NTG can moderate their employees. They seem to do alright keeping things on an even keel in the public forums and would be simply shifting platforms for a better solution.
Ā
Considering I'm not going to be a part of the NTG section, I guess it seems odd that I'd endorse it but hopefully point 'b' clears that up. -

Why?I doubt that would happen. This is in no relation to NTG. Grove Social is has nothing to do with NTG other than NTG employees are over here as well.

Grove Social is also a client if I recall correctly.
-
I hired NTG (well duh moment there) to do all of my technical support and also to support the platform it's self as this is WAY over my head.
-
I do not think we will allow private groups for spewing anything. The same rules for moderation stand for even the private groups.

@Minion-Queen That's what is called eating your own dog food?
Is it Grove Social or Groove Social? -

Correct, GS is an NTG client.

Is it Grove Social or Groove Social?Grove, like trees. Not Groove, like Microsoft software they were ashamed of and renamed to hide what it was (OneDrive for Business.)
-
Semantics aside, I disagree with private groups here.
It goes against the ML tag line about being an open community... Unless that disappeared from the front page. I can't tell from my phone. -

Talking trees? Like an Ent?

It did. With persona there isn't a blurb box on the homepage anymore.
