Re: Can I set questions for people requesting to join the group?

 

I agree it seems the "Pending Subscription" Member Notice feature was not fully thought through.

Some believe it was intended only to PROVIDE Additional Information TO applicants for Subscription, and given that's all it REALLY does they may be right...

Others use it to REQUEST Additional Information FROM applicants - I change its Subject to: "Additional Information Required".

Currently there is no way to automatically put applicants 'on hold' until they answer such a request.
Consequently, it is the first step in the workaround to do so.

Your suggestion that the "View Pending Member" link be attached to a "Pending Subscription" Member Notice reply is a good one.

Perhaps next year after the Great YG Migration (and probably the Groups.io app is rolled out), it can be one of several excellent feature requests to be brought up again and instituted.

I believe a better way to vet would-be subscribers should be second only to an Absentee Owner Succession feature and/or a restructuring Set Moderator Privileges (to prevent a Founder/Original Owner being deposed).

Hang in there, Groups.io DOES work on improving itself...

I am curious why the pending subscription response does not include the link to the approval page for that member. I set up the pending subscription notice a couple days ago and today I had one response but had trouble getting to the approval page on my smartphone. After I finally got to the page and approved the member I noticed that the pending member was in the list (with others that did not answer the pending subscription notice) making it necessary to go back to the original reply and see what the email address was of the person that did respond."
