What's the difference between a Group and a Club?
A Group is a feature that allows multiple members with a common interest to interact with each other in their own space. Anyone can create a Group, and you can invite anyone to join. A Club is like a Group, except that it is approved by an admin.
Are all groups open to anyone?
Group creators and moderators have the ability to change this setting in groups. Here's how each type of group is defined\:
Public groups can be read by anyone and anyone may join.
Private groups are visible only to members and members must be invited by the moderator to join, you cannot apply.
But wait...I have more questions!
You can always ask the moderators any questions you have, or feel free to contact us for a technical issue.
