i have two requests here.
  1. Third option for admin - Welcome, Decline, and On Hold (or Put on Hold).
Would be nice to have a third choice for group admins when someone requests to join the group, being "On Hold" - this will notify the other admins (if they check member requests status) that there is already an admin looking into the request (like messaging the requesting member to get clarification on their answers).
Although it WILL NOT notify the requesting member, and its more of an admin internal communication (without needing to message each other) feature.
Scenario:
  • Our group invites alumni of a college. We ask requesting members what is their relationship to the college.
  • An admin sees a request that is not clear on the connection to the college, so they choose the "on hold" option while they message the person for clarification.
  • Other admins see it and do not process the request knowing someone else is looking into it.
  • Once the initial admin gets a clear answer, they can Welcome the new member.
  1. Groups can change settings on how many admins are required to approve new members.
In the spirit of co-governance, It would be nice for groups to have the option in choosing how many admins need to approve new members for the requesting members to join the group, so there is multiple confirmations and more transparency. Perhaps a tag on the members of who has approved them joining the group.
