Right now there is really no way to know anything at all about who is trying to join your group when they request to join. Not much protection for the moderator required approval.
Yes there is, but you criticised it earlier in the paragraph; it's the "two step approval process" provided using the Pending Subscription message. Once set up it involves no more work for the Owner / Moderator than reading the response, and they would have to do that anyway even if it was just a one - step process.
If it filters out the "only vaguely interested" applicants (and the spammers, come to think about it) then I cannot see anything wrong with it. If Owners and Moderators don't want to do the work involved then they really ought not be Owners and Moderators in the first place.
