[Organizers] Re: Facebook join requests

I do the same as the Chicago group on the local sites. I look for friends, and notice the few bits of information that is available. I am hesitant to approve out of towners unless I personally know them to be traveling dancers.  Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad On Sunday, May 31, 2020, 3:28 PM, Meg Dedolph via Organizers <organizers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: I've seen that sort of thing on the Chicago group's page. I tend not to approve a request if the person has no other friends in the group, or if the profile looks "off" - very few friends, no photos, from a place far away from Chicago (why would you be interested in our dance?)  Meg On Sun, May 31, 2020 at 2:20 PM Emily Addison via Organizers <organizers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: We have had the same thing happen for a number of years.We approved the first few and they quickly posted about selling shoes etc.Therefore, we now reject such requests.Emily | | Virus-free. www.avg.com | On Sun, May 31, 2020 at 3:16 PM B Fabinski via Organizers <organizers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: Hi organizers. The Rochester NY Contra Dancers FB page is getting a few join requests per week from people in other countries, from accounts that have very recently been created and have only a very few, if any, friends or other groups joined. We are leery of trolls who intend to disrupt the group, and have been rejecting them. I was wondering if other group pages are receiving similar requests, and what they have done about it.
