rejecting a request to join


 

We had to remove a member for violating our guidelines repeatedly. This person keeps sending us via group owner a request to join. My question is we receive the request and click the reject link and send. What does the person being rejected get on their end?

Thank you.

Brenda

Have you set up a Removed Member notice?
See?/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-members/removing-members?single=true

The Help says "Removed Member notice
This notice can be sent automatically when a moderator removes a member from the group. To be sent automatically, the notice must be the active notice (set to Active Message). If no Removed Member notice is set to Active Message, none will be sent."
/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-member-notices/removed-member-notice?single=true
?
You can ban the member. That would prevent the person trying to rejoin with the same email address.
Again, you need to create a notice and make it active:
/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-member-notices/banned-member-notice?single=true

Here's the help page on banning and unbanning:
/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-members/banning-and-unbanning-members?single=true

If you had removed a member without an active notice, perhaps you should set up a rejected subscription notice:
/helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/managing-member-notices/rejected-subscription-notice?single=true

No we haven't set up a notice, did? not know about it, but will now. This helps. Glad I asked the forum.

Brenda,

Be aware that anyone who is removed, banned, etc., can get a new email address
and attempt to join under the new address. Depending on how you handle the new
membership process, you may not even be aware of them joining under a different
address.

I had one member who wasn't adhering to our rule about foul language. I banned
the member's email. He joined under a different account, but he is now behaving,
so it accomplished the desired result in the end. I know he did that because of
his writing style, his never quoting anything from a post he is replying to,
etc., but I figured he's learned a lesson and hasn't broken any rules since he
joined again. I could have banned his new address, and kept doing the
whack-a-mole thing, but all that really matters is that he's using appropriate
language now.
