Want To Join A Facebook Group? Answer Few Questions Before Joining
Trust Facebook for the new updates they roll out often. Facebook is now ready with a new feature that allows admins to set up three questions for people requesting to join the group. This new feature is just to ensure that the right people are added to the group and also the newly added member do not troll or spam the group.
This new feature is now rolled out globally to 100% of the group admins. A spokesperson from Facebook said: “Screening new membership requests requires time and legwork for admins — particularly for groups built around focused passions or purpose. For these groups, admins typically have specific criteria they require before admitting new members. Establishing these open ended questions enables them to more quickly review and approve member requests; in turn, people seeking communities of support or shared interest can more quickly connect with others.”
Users who wish to join a group will be given a questionnaire to fill out immediately, and those invited to join will be notified with a notification linked to the form. The replies must be up to 250 characters each that can be seen by admins and will not be posted on the groups.
With this, the Group admins will have more control over the applicants they choose and moreover, they can filter out those troublemakers.
In a separate note, Facebook is holding its first communities Summit for Group Admins in Chicago this June.
