1. Possessing logged directly into Fb, get the party that you would like to participate. Teams enable folks regarding related passions to share with you people passions in the key spot. You will find teams in many other ways, although method to participate could be the identical no matter.

Seek out the particular party: Once you learn the particular identity or perhaps an area of the identifies with the party, you can search because of it inside the Fb lookup pub. Find the party from your SERP's to be able to available the particular party site. Take note it is not necessarily an easy task since FB prioritize folks and also fan pages on the teams, thus you should be actually certain.

Examine the friends' teams. The friends' users can exhibit the particular teams they are associates regarding. It is possible to click the back links to see the particular party web pages regarding some of these teams.

View recommended teams. Fb advises a listing of teams according to some other passions and also just what friends and family are usually activated to be able to. It is possible to notice this kind of record simply by pressing the particular "Find Fresh Groups" website link inside the still left food selection with the principal site.

a couple of. Go through the party sort. You can find a couple of principal teams you could locate without being invited: "Open" teams and also "Closed" teams. Available teams usually do not demand acceptance to participate and also they could be joined up with right away. Sealed teams demand acceptance coming from one of many party admins, and also you need to hold out right up until you might be approved one which just sees the particular party.

Additionally, there are "Secret" teams. These kinds of teams usually do not arrive inside lookups or perhaps about peoples' users. You need to acquire a great invite from your party so that you can become a member of that.

3. Become a member of the particular party. Available the particular party site that you would like to participate. You will observe any "Join Group" option under the group's protect fine art. Simply click that to be able to obtain entry to the party.

In the event the party can be an Available party, pressing the particular "Join Group" option can join an individual inside the party right away.

In the event the party can be a Sealed party, pressing the particular "Join Group" option can send out a great entry obtain for the admins. You need to hold out and soon you are usually approved one which just interacts with the particular party.

Other folks could possibly note that you might have joined up with friends on their Media Nourish.

some. Submit inside the party. Although you can view the particular party content prior to deciding to are usually approved, you can not generate content or perhaps touch upon some other content right up until the account will be approved. When it really is, it is possible to submit and also the opinion in the same way you'll about some other Fb web pages.

Being a typical Fb wall structure submit, you can photos, video tutorials, back links plus more in your party content.

Be sure that the content gives rise to the particular party. If the content is usually disrespectful or perhaps off-topic, you'll likely become taken from the particular party.

5. Match party revisions. Once you become a member of friends, fresh content will be on your own Media Nourish, that means you will never have to see the particular group's site to keep educated. It is possible to touch upon content in which can be found in the Media Nourish.

The way things are currently working on FB, anyone can join any group they can find, simply by requesting to join. BUT, if you have your settings requiring question responses before their initial post, they're (as far as I'm concerned) members in name only because they cannot post anything.

If they try to post, they will be reminded to answer the questions… unless you've already granted them posting rights.

In my groups, people join at will (if they can find the group, I have no way to stop them). The first time they try to post, they're asked to answer our questions. Until one of the admin team approves their answers, their post sits. If they haven't answered, we “decline” the post, and nothing happens until they try to post again.

If you approve a person who has not answered questions, FB assumes you don't care about this person's responses and allows them full rights in the group.

It's up to you whether your group settings allow person's whose questions you approved to then post at will, or whether you have everyone on post approval.

Good luck with it - fb has a habit of changing their systems without telling people and leaving us to figure out on our own how it works.

*NOT FOR SHARING IN MONETIZED SPACES *

I’ll answer how I personally deal with this. I have three questions set for prospective members. They are questions that help to keep trolls, bots or males out, (who may be looking for feet pictures-my Group is a nail art Group) so, we have 3 questions, and people don’t always answer. We give them 48 hours, because during that time, Facebook reminds them a couple of times, than they need to answer some questions to be approved.

For anyone that only answers one or two, we decline them - the reason being, that they can apply again if they are super keen.

For the ones who didn’t answer after 48 hours, we decline them, for the same reason. A decline does not block them from ever joining again.

And people might only answer one, or two, because they fail to scroll to the bottom of the page and see all of the questions.

It’s an ongoing frustration when people don’t answer. We know from testing it, that the questions are perfectly visible. So who can say really? maybe it annoys them to be asked personal questions.

Personally, I don’t approve people who have not answered the questions, because my first question pertains to them reading my rules, and I absolutely insist that they do that. By them saying that they will, I have a tacit agreement, and then do not feel bad, for removing them for breaking rules that they promised to read, then failed to do so.

When managing a Facebook group, asking the right questions before approving new members can help ensure that the group remains focused, safe, and valuable to its members. Here are some important questions to consider:

1. Relevance and Interest:

• Why do you want to join this group?This question helps determine the applicant's interest and relevance to the group's focus.
• What do you hope to gain from being a member of this group?This can provide insight into the applicant's expectations and whether they align with the group's objectives.

2. Experience and Background:

• How did you hear about this group?This can help you understand how new members are finding your group and assess the effectiveness of your outreach efforts.
• What is your experience or background related to the group's topic?This helps gauge the applicant’s level of expertise or involvement in the group's subject matter.

3. Contribution and Participation:

• How do you plan to contribute to the group?This question can encourage applicants to think about how they can add value to the community.
• Have you read and agreed to the group rules?Ensuring that new members are aware of and agree to abide by the group rules is crucial for maintaining a respectful and orderly environment.

4. Verification and Safety:

• Are you willing to abide by the group guidelines and engage respectfully with other members?This reiterates the importance of respectful engagement and adherence to group rules.
• Do you have any questions or concerns about the group's rules or guidelines?This allows applicants to clarify any doubts and shows that the group values open communication.

5. Specific Group Needs:

• If applicable, please provide a link to your professional profile or portfolio.For professional or niche interest groups, this can help verify the applicant’s credentials.
• What specific topics or issues within this group's focus are you most interested in?This helps tailor content and discussions to members' interests and identify potential contributors.

Example Questions for a Facebook Group about a Small Thai Town:

1. Why are you interested in joining our group about [Town's Name]?
2. Do you currently live in or have you ever visited [Town's Name]? If yes, please share your experience.
3. What topics or activities related to [Town's Name] are you most interested in discussing or learning about?
4. How do you plan to contribute to our community discussions and activities?
5. Have you read and do you agree to follow our group rules and guidelines?

Customizing Questions:

• Align Questions with Group Goals: Tailor the questions to reflect the specific goals and culture of your group.
• Balance Openness and Screening: Aim to make the questions welcoming while still effectively screening for appropriate members.
• Update Periodically: Periodically review and update the questions to ensure they remain relevant and effective.

By carefully crafting these pre-approval questions, you can better manage your Facebook group’s membership and maintain a positive, engaged community.

You technically can’t without removing all members whose information isn’t saved and requiring them to re-join. You could post an announcement/file with the questions that includes verbiage about agreeing to follow the group rules and state that anyone who has not answered on the post or sent admin a PM with their answers by a certain date will be removed and have to reapply to join the group. But you run the risk of losing good members that way. Why is it so important for you to have a record of their answers? If they break the rules, and your group is set up properly, you can send them a warning informing them of the broken rule. It doesn’t really matter if you have proof they agreed to the rules or not. Ignorance of the rules does not permit a member to violate them. You can still enforce the rules of your group.

I advise you create a secret group with all admin/mods of the other group added as members and use it to keep track of members who straddle the line or outright break the rules and have a stated policy of how many actions against a member will result in removal from the group. Or you can set up a point system, with some violations worth more points than others, and when a member accumulates a set number of points they are removed/banned from group.

There was a known issue with Facebook that if someone was invited they didn’t see the questions. I have noticed that about half the time now I am getting recommendations where they have seen the questions so I think FB is working on resolving the issue but I still don’t believe it is completely resolved. What we did in the group I admin is we put a pinned post in the group (pinned so it should always stay on top but I do bump it periodically) that says, “we love having your friends in the group but we require that people answer the questions”, I went on to explain the issue with FB and gave the people the direct url that takes them in to the group where they can click on the join button. Then they see the questions. It has worked well for us. I still see that the person has X number of friends in the group which counts in their favor big time with us. I don’t know if it will work in your group and we still get recommendations that don’t answer the question so it isn’t 100% even for us but at least it has improved things.

Facebook isn't showing my group membership questions to new members, I think it's when they've been invited by others in the group. Any idea how I fix this?

Be aware that Facebook is undergoing massive changes at the moment. In late August I got a message saying the old version was being phased out, and that by September the new version would be mandatory. I don’t know if all this is in place yet or if some details are still in the process of being changed.

If you are having problems of unwanted new members joining your group, I can suggest a few avenues of research.

1. See if you can get rid of the option for members to invite friends. When I looked through the help book, I saw an x next to that title. I didn’t click on it so I don’t know what happens if you do.
1. see blue text in screenshot below.
2. See also Facebook re Block group invites
2. See if you can set it up so that people who are invited must be approved by admin before they can become members.
3. If you end up having an unsuitable person in your group you can block them, though that seems not only unfair but is also very unpleasant.

I found this in the admin part of a group I manage. In my Home, I went to Groups, then clicked on the name of this group. This came up.

Hi, here is a short guide to do so. We will release a full guide for Facebook groups soon.

Have a nice day.

Who are you trying to exclude from your group? Construct a question that they won’t be able to answer, or will be too lazy to look up.

It could be a trivia question. Many people who see some jargon in a trivia question, i.e. midi-chlorians or parthenogenesis, will be in too much of a hurry to google what this means and will not answer the question. Ideally people you want in your group will not need to look it up or feign understanding.

It could be a “What is your favorite?” question. If you have a Katy Perry fandom group, ask what their favorite Katy Perry album is. Most humans could not name a Katy Perry album if their life depended on it. Katy’s relatives don’t remember the titles of her things even if they often feel like a plastic bag. Sure you could google it in 0.9 seconds, but fake people trying to find a group to sell Ray-Bans illegally do not have 0.9 seconds to waste looking things up on the internet.

I will warn you that if you ask a question which encourages people to make stuff up some people will be happy to do so. I was joining a group which featured photos of Cara Delevingne, or somebody like that, and the question was “What is your relationship to Cara Delevingne?” Seriously? I did not want to answer that I am just a pathetic and sad old man, so I took this opportunity to say that Cara and I were briefly married in the 1950s. (Evidently this was sufficient to allow me into the group even if false.)

As a group admin, I will tell you that many people will not answer even a simple yes or no question (i.e. “Do you want to join this group?”). I don’t really know why this is, but any question whatsoever will screen out some people or bots.

Yes, as a Facebook group administrator, you can require prospective members to answer your questions before they can submit their membership request. When you create your membership question, simply mark it as a required field. This will prevent users from submitting their request without first answering the question.

To create membership questions for your Facebook group, follow these steps:

1. Go to your group and click on "More" on the left-hand side.
2. Select "Edit Group Settings" from the dropdown menu.
3. Scroll down to the "Membership Requests" section and click on "Ask Questions."
4. Add your questions in the text box provided, and make sure to mark any required fields.
5. Save your changes.

Once you've set up your questions, Facebook will automatically prompt potential members to answer them when they try to join your group. If they try to submit their request without answering a required question, they will be prompted to provide an answer before they can proceed.

The build of Facebook available where I am doesn’t have screening questions but it does have the Help text for them! I guess you’ve read that but if not

How do I ask questions for people who request to join a group I admin?

With so many members there’ll be many who will ignore your rules as the questions aren’t compulsory. What you do about it will depend on what kind of group it is and what kind of people it’s attracting. Unless they have an agreed common purpose you might have difficulty keeping discussion user friendly.

Managing a group that size is a challenge and in my experience needs a roster of several Admins as disruptive activity can come out of other time zones at any time and can do a lot of damage if it’s not stopped quickly.

I check all member requests carefully. To identify the rather common fake accounts look for recent creation (because Facebook kills them off as they’re reported) and they don’t have third party comments which can’t be faked. Also there will be many who are looking for yet another platform to spread their own propaganda.

Can I make people answer questions before adding me as a friend, like in Facebook groups?

Facebook is not set up to allow for that. However, Facebook is set up so that you can check out the person’s page before accepting a friend request. And you are always free to decline a friend request.

Sometimes Facebook tells you if you have mutual friends with the other person. A “mutual friend” is a person who is friends with you and the other person. In that case, I have sometimes asked a mutual friend about the person who sent the friend request. Most of the time, I decline friend requests from people I don’t know.

No one is ever obligated to accept a friend request. Facebook is set up so one can block a person who sends unwanted friend requests. There is no need of questions.

If your question is about adding people as friends on Quora, the same applies; you can’t ask questions but neither do you receive friend requests. I am not aware of any “friends” category on Quora, only followers. Anyone is free to follow anyone on Quora in order to read their great writing. To stop a person from following you have to block them.

Okay , so the problem is probably one of these things. . . it's either their Facebook is all messed up , or they're not actually accepting the invite, you know ? I've had that happen a million times, people just ignore stuff . Or maybe they're not even on Facebook anymore ? Like I invited my aunt Carol once, and she's. . . well she's probably not even on the internet honestly, ha . Sometimes Facebook is just being stupid too , it glitches out sometimes, right ? I swear it's gotten worse lately. Maybe they didnt get the notification . And its possible I messed up the invite , thats happened , I've accidentally added the wrong email address before its mortifying . Also , is the group set to private? Its so annoying when they dont let you in easily. Ugh , I'm having a hard time remembering how I set up this group its a bit of a mess. Plus , maybe their privacy settings are super strict , blocking all invites . Man Facebook is so complicated. It could also be a bunch of little things adding up- maybe its the timing, maybe the servers are down , maybe the internet itself is broken. It's one of those things. Seriously though its frustrating. I spent like ten minutes trying to get my cousin in last week . He's pretty tech-savvy , he still couldnt figure it out so who knows what is going on. It's probably something simple but so annoying .

got more thoughts on can't people in my biography description

Decline membership to anyone who doesn’t answer the membership questions. I personally do not admit anyone who has been invited by another member, because I have had new members get upset about being added without their consent. Facebook now allows member requests to be declined with feedback.

Decline with Feedback indicating their friend invited them to join, but your group requires prospective members to answer vetting questions and let them know if they want to join the group to apply themselves and answer the membership questions.

You may also want to include in your group rules that you do not approve members invited by others. Members are welcome to “share” the group with friends, but members must apply themselves. Then when someone tries to add people, make a post in the group reminding them that the group does not approve members added by others and explain how to “share” the group with their friends.

This is best done via a laptop, or can also be done on Android phones. I am not able to set up those questions from the iPhone Facebook App. So if you have laptop, Android phone, or even an ipad, (open safari, and access Facebook that way, rather than opening the App)

If you are using a browser to do this, you’ll go to your Group page, and look for the three little dots that says More, or it might say Info on Android. They are just under your Group’s Cover picture, and are the last icon, click that, and select Edit Group Settings, scroll down, and you’ll see Membership Requests - Ask Questions. Click that, and it will allow you to ask 3 questions. That’s all you need to do, every potential member who requests to join, will be asked the questions. However they dont always answer them, or answer all 3. Facebook have now added a reminder, so if they didn’t answer them immediately, they will get a reminder in (i think) 36 hours.

If you have an Android Phone, go to your Group’s home page, select Info, which is the 4th tab under the Cover Picture, click it, and select Edit Group Settings, where the top option is to set questions. For Pending Members.

Hope that helps.

No matter whether the Facebook group is yours or not, you are not allowed to add them but invite them.

You can only send invitations, messages or group links to them, and invite them to join the group. If you don’t like this tedious way, you can choose to use a Facebook automation tool that can save you lots of time.

There is a lot of software on the Internet, but I prefer to use LikeSharerTool because it’s easy to use and cheap compared to other software.

Likesharertool provides 12 different tools. Each tool has its own features and functions.

Take GroupInviter for instance. It enables you to invite your friends to your groups automatically. No matter who you are, online marketers, bloggers or anyone who wants to improve influence, GroupInviter can promise you a much more active group and a bigger chance of success.
