I have thought from the start that this is a dangerous lack in groups.io as compared to FB groups. It would be great if someone would call this to Mark¡¯s attention again in beta. I¡¯m pretty sure it¡¯s on trelllo but I think it really needs to be bumped up,

One of my groups is restricted to paid up members of our club and we
need to confirm this before approving them. Another group is for TV
repair technicians and for health and safety reasons we need to confirm
they are reasonably qualified to work on these items.
Approving them and getting them to say who they are in their first post
(or moderating their postings) does not achieve our requirements as
they would be able to read messages and access files as soon as they
become members. All our content is available to members only and it is
important to keep this so.
A simple box to type a few words on the joining screen, like
Yahoogroups has, would solve most of these issues.
