"YOU HAVE BEEN EJECTED..."
Dana Enyo
This isn't really a feature but I don't see anywhere else to put it. After 21 years, could there be some better wording than "You have been ejected from... "Group Name." By far most elections are because a group closed or is just doing housekeeping. Ideally there could be a choice of statements, or maybe a fixed "This group has closed" message. But the EJECTED has always been really nasty.

My feelers get hurt when I see that message, even when the group notices warn me it's going to happen and why, lol. I agree that we need kinder, gentler wording because right now those words sting.

That could be worded better.

It's true: that message can seem horrible to the recipient. Could the message be customizable?

Anastasia Horngold A short checklist would be fine I think. From the (really very rare) "You have been ejected for violating our group rules" to "This group is being closed, thanks for being a member!" to "We're housecleaning and you've been offline over a year, so we're removing you from the group."
But if it's impossible, maybe just the wording? Even "For any of a number of reasons, you have been removed from the group" would be less snarky than we have now.
