Not to intentionally double post (well actually I am).
* The test group was created.
* The default "member" role had its security options altered to not include any active selections and renamed to "member-silenced".
* A new role of "member-with voice" was created with the standard member rights of "post in forums" and "submit news".
* Test members joined the open membership and were able to see/read the forums, but not reply and not create threads.
* When promoted to "member-with voice" they could then use the forums normally.
Based on this testing, an open membership group can be configured to allow any Bungie.Net members to join and view the group's resources, but not interact with them.
Admins concerned about spamming or takeovers could implement these roles and advise all new members (via sticky thread and/or news article) that the group has membership requirements (linked gamertag, posting history in the public forums, age requirements, etc.) Members wanting voice could then be directed to request an "upgrade" to voice by PM'ing a specific admin (or admins) and requesting a review.
This can allow new members to also "preview" your group in order to decide if they really want to be a member.
Anyone have anything else to add?Good job Recon. I may implement that feature...
