Oh so you did ask them.

Then that is very strange that that member got?their name.

?

Did you try sending that?person an email asking them how they knew the person who recommended them because that person doesn't recall knowing them. ?

?

I also send a questionnaire prior to them joining but there are ways to?fudge those. So when I am iffy about a member who joins any of my groups, I first have them on moderation so I can see what they are sharing.?I have had members in the past join groups just to advertise their groups. So?by?being on moderation I will know that.

?

Now here is another?reason?there should be a way to close off the archives to members. I already suggested it in Support for IO. But if more members ask for it maybe it will be escalated. It is on the back burner now.

?

If the members couldn't see what is being shared by reading the archives you wouldn't have to worry about any bad members. Just put them on no mail and then they can't see what is going on. Then you wouldn't have to worry about them bothering you by trying to rejoin and rejoin. ?But being that the archives?cannot be shut down, that won't work in this case. ?
