This is Still Rediculous

    The fact that you cannot retract a registration submission from a group is ridiculous. I bet others have complained about this before, but not recently.

     

    Im just asking, is there any plan to fix the groups and group systems any time, well, ever?

     

    One of the members of BMN made a sub-group for the BMN Tech Division, but now I can't join in because when I click cancel registration on the groups I sent submissions to back in October, it just tells me:

    'Cannot join group.You have reached the group registration limit.'

     

    Please see if there is something that can be done about this, mods. If only Simon can change it, then nevermind.

     We can't do anything about it either, sorry.

    Correct, only Simon can fix it. But Simon isn't here much nowadays, so it's unlikely to get fixed :(

     

    Your best option is probably the alternative groups system on http://tptapi.com , which Lockheedmartin is in charge of (so unlike powdertoy.co.uk, it might actually get fixed if something doesn't work).

    So maybe somebody here can explain to me why Simon won't or can't give full access rights to the servers to somebody trustworthy from the community...

    Considering jacksonmj made this: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/173466 , i'm sure he would do great with more server access :). Moderation would be a ton harder and less efficient without that. This bug here though can't be fixed client side. It's entirely server side. I recommend making sure the owner of a group is there to accept / deny your request, because if you send a request to an inactive group you can never get rid of that.

    Edit: if there is supposed to be a "cancel registration" button, there's a small chance that maybe you actually can do that client side. As long as the server side stuff is there to do it.

     There has never been a cancellation button on the official groups system. It's a largely forgotten complaint (Probably because the system is not used often anymore).
