Membership Requests: Ignored by person

Carlos Gallo Garavano PublicSeen by 60

In the section Membership Requests there is the possibility of 'Approved' or 'Ignore' request for a membership and in the case of 'Ignore' just write down the text 'Ignored By Person'

For improve the rules of living together of the group, is useful to know at any time who rejected or ignored the request for membership

I had assumed that coordinators of a group would have an understanding that if someone is a coordinator, they are trusted to make this kind of decision. But maybe in groups with lots of coordinators this is not the case?

I think there could be serious concerns in groups with more than a couple of coordinators, if the coordinators are diverse, and if the group is dealing with very difficult subjects which some of the coordinators feel passionately about.

That's not to say that there 'needs' to be a software solution. In extreme cases though, 'warring' coordinators might deny their own actions. I could see Loomio being used for many controversial subjects, where unscrupulous coordinators may be tempted to subtly abuse their technical powers.

I think that transparency of personal authoritative/coercive actions is a pretty great principle in general, when technically feasible.

Is any member of the group when group settings allow any member to 'Invite and approve new members'
