The Pending Subscription notice can be sent automatically to anyone who applies for membership in a restricted group (a group that has the Restricted Membership spam control setting). To be sent automatically, the notice must be the active notice (set to Active Message). If no Pending Subscription notice is set to Active Message, none will be sent.
Tips:
- Some groups use this notice to screen potential members by asking questions for applicants to respond to in support of their applications to join the group. Responses go to the group owner address and are recorded on individual members’ pages under “+owner messages.”
- Templates for Pending Subscription notices are available in the wiki in the GroupManagersForum group. Feel free to use those templates as a basis for your group’s notice.
