Will you PLEASE give us a way to disable the Subscribe link on the main page?? I keep getting these requests with nondescript emails with no full name and I have no idea who the hell these people are?

Is this so difficult?

There already is.? All you have to do is upgrade to an Enterprise group and you should have complete control over the group's home page content.

BTW, this is a user-to-user group.? No one from GIO monitors it.? If you want to make a suggestion, you'd need to post on the .

Personally I have no such problem so wonder why you do?

Is your group closed to new subscribers?

Does your home page have a description of what your group is about and who can join? (and who cannot)

Is your group restricted and do you have a pending subscriber message ?

In the pending subscriber message you can stipulate there must be a full name and add other qualifying questions

They have 14 days to answer the pending subscriber message or its automatically deleted

Works well for me

You can also require more information before they join by creating a Pending Subscription notice. Available to any level including free groups.
/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-member-notices/pending-subscription-notice

Also you can take your group out of the Publicly Listed Groups, if you wish.
/search?p=SubsCount,,,20,2,0,0

And fine-tune your group description to discourage people who wouldn't be a match. For example, if it is only for those who live in your neighbourhood, say that. Or use specific software.... etc.
