groups

 i just joined charlottes group... not a big event you might say... but a confusing one for me at least...  i thought to comment in a group via a post you had to be a member... a sort of way of cutting out the rubbish posts that made the other forum almost useless when looking for sound information or allowing people with a common interest to discuss that interest without to put it mildly some person that thought they were "oh so funny" coming along and making fun of what was being said...  not a foolproof system ... but at least the idiot had had to join the group... and i presume the admin of the group if he/she thought it was just a "p**s taker" could remove the rubbish before it start spreading...seems its not so...so as someone that runs the pet group... i have just changed it ...to approve members... before they can join... sorry did not ever see that i would have a reason to... am now waiting to see if non members can post still ...anyway if you have a group it might be worth checking how you have set it up.. obviously its getting boring out there...
