Group Calendars - why would we use one?
The message inside the group is just a message telling all members something was created. So user C in the scenario never actually receives an invite at all.
Thanks Brent, very clear.
I absolutely agree that such behaviour should be changed.
IMO it is enough to have, as for personal calendars, a difference between appointments and meeting.
Appointments should generate only simple notifications to group members (if they are subscribed), while meetings should generate (also) invites to group members (if they are subscribed).
At the time being, it appeas to me that the only workaround for calendar items that are not real meetings, is that members delete the invite from their personal calendars, correct?

If the emails get to be too much, which I agree is a possibility, that's a good use case for creating sub-folders and rules to keep things managable. Just as we often do for external mailing lists.
Agreed.
On the other side, if you are a member of 50 groups (as some of my customers are), how can you stay on top of all groups conversations without subscribing?
- Or just advise users to "subscribe" to a group at your own peril.
Between the group calendar and notifications turned on, 10 calendar entries and 10 planner tasks with 1 comment in each equals 110 unique emails in your inbox if your subscribed.
