As moderator, how can I prevent solicitors from joining my family group? How do I approve who joins?

Some salesman just joined my family’s yahoo group. I’ve never heard of him. I, as moderator, want to approve who joins. I thought it was by invitation only.

Sounds like you need to change the Membership Type setting for your group. To view your current setting and change it:
- Go to your group home page and click on “Management” in the left margin.
- Under Group Settings, click “Membership”
- Your Membership Type is listed at the top of the Group Settings page. I suspect yours is set to “Open”.
- Click on “Edit” next to the title line. You will be able to change Membership Type and some other things.
- Click on the “Save Changes” button at the top right when you’ve modified things to your satisfaction.

Explore the other links on the management page to get a feel for the things you can control as moderator.

Have fun!
