set the channel description: test channel

@Sunil - can you try extracting email ids of these users using phantombuster or something else

?

just a sec

you’re right, it only scrapes information that can be seen

for eg, i can scrape his number if it’s shown here

unless you changed some setting after I notified you both

https://s11s.slack.com/archives/C03QE9WSP70/p1658492154344249 You're quick to cast aspersions. You really think we would change settings just to prove you wrong.

see another community i’m a part of

The emails were never exposed in this community

@Shaf haha not to say that way. but all I’m saying is that it can be done, unless it’s kept private

my point to ask was, I never heard of the company, I saw their msg sometime back in the channel, then I get an email, the only connection I have with goodmeetings is via s11s 🙂

this is the message in #shameless-plug i’m referring to -> https://s11s.slack.com/archives/C0318NH5G3C/p1658234796130459

https://s11s.slack.com/archives/C02SC17QD1U/p1658504536871809 @Tej - I am seeing Hubilo ads after our catch up. Did you put a cookie in my browser or steal my email? 😁

@Shaf didn’t mean disrespect sir. We’re all in the same stuff here. I just brought to your notice because I saw this happening with other groups as well.

1. Posting it on #general based on a hunch is not the right approach according to me. There's #admin-public with limited folks or you can start a conversation with the admins directly in DMs. 2. The misunderstanding from my end was that I assumed it was not a mere hunch from your side but you'd done due diligence prior to posting it on #general. Hence I was quick to start this channel to let you test once again - just to confirm. 3. That's that. But your message about changing settings didn't go down well at the time. I understand now that it was probably in the right spirit and not malice. But at the time it looked that way. 4. Peace.

I get it. I just asked plainly in general if anyone else has got it or not? Plus I did use these words

i think they scraped the data from Slack, basically getting email IDs and sent the invite

and not blamed anyone for doing it. because it is possible to do it, was happening in other communities i’m part of and hence thought of bringing to your notice. I was not aware that the #admin-public channel exists

Got it.

I hope there’s no hard feelings 😅 I mean I know all of you for years now, and being a community builder myself, I would not say/do/practice anything that’s against the community decorum

didn’t mean disrespect to anyone 🥲

It's fine

When fellow members see something like that they are likely to lose confidence in the community than gain it.

sure. shit move from my end to put it in #general should have DMed one of you. 🥲
