"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

Okay, I was thinking that there should be a message customisable for group admins which is sent automatically to group members when they join the group. it can tell them a bit about the rules, give links to intro centers and generally make the grous seem more professional.

Please comment.

That has potential as an idea.

I'm just afraid of joining a group and getting an automatic message saying "1 5tabs j00 n00b!"

I logged into Bungie.net and all I got was this lame member rank.

It could work, but how hard is it to read a sticky?

My expierience is I recruit people, they click join group and often never read a news story or look in the forum. Why do people join if they know they won't be active?!

I like the idea. It is annoying to have to send an individual copy of the same message to all new members.

Don't send me group invites.

I like that idea and to expand on that idea, it would be nice to have some of the admins be able to mass PM people.

i'd like to see that and a message in your group membership that says the group's name and something like " group membership pending"

Deffinutly. I hate having to PM 200 people about a humpday or to tell them to remember to be active etc. Entire group messages are also a must!

Oh yeah BTW...... WHERES'S MY GIGGITY COOKIE!!!

That would really be helpfull. You could just write out what to say everytime and each time a member comes, it would autimatically send it to them.

I set my group to private so when I approve members I can just send them a short welcome message. It works well enough. I think it'd just be easier to do it that way.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

That brings up another idea that someone mentioned a while ago that I thought had merit. Some groups might like the ability to automatically message a member who asks to join a closed group. It might ask things like why they want to join the group, or if someone has reccommended the group to them. I know that there are some groups that PM members who join the queue, so having the option to message them automatically might help some of the more popular private groups.
