Requirements for Happy Band Group?

 1.  You must never, ever disagree with the group administrators.  Yes, this is a free country, no you may not dispute the misinformation provided with facts backed up with links, quotes or previous remarks of said administrators.
2.  You must currently be in good standing with the Band Standards Review Board. Any complications you might be experiencing must be acknowledged as a result of your failure to obey the band rules as set forth by the group owner.
3.  You must post at least 3 times daily in support of the aforementioned group owner's statements, true or untrue or risk being cast out of the Happy Band Group, therefore being forever scourged as an Unhappy Bandster, unworthy of inclusion.

It does seem a bit absurd.

I have been wondering if the "founders" Are actually one person with 2 screen names. They seem to just be each others cheering section.

I wish I had the free time to play such games on a support site but alas my life is too full with exercising, loving my husband and dog, working, eating well, enjoying my hobbies, spending time with friends and sleeping!

Sounds like fun.

I think I'll pass.

 

 I've written an email to the OH Member Services expressing my disappointment in their approval of the group. Whether or not they will do anything is still to be seen. If anyone wants to read it so they can send it, too, just PM me.

Here's the thing: it's a private group on OH and the owner of the group has the right to make any rules they darn well please as long as they don't violate TOS.  They also have the right to appoint any administrators they please.

While OH administrators may (randomly or not) choose to monitor a private group (primarily for adherence to OH TOS), any time you hit REPORT within a private group, the report goes to the group owner and the administrators of the group.

Groups have the right to limit membership as they please.

I am personally banned from one group.  I have been by MULTIPLE people they want me in the group and have proposed me for membership in the group but there is ONE PERSON in the group who doesn't want me there.  I could go on about it, but, to the point, I don't have a right to insist on inclusion into a private group nor is there an OH mommy to make them play nice and include me.

So, if the Happy Bandsters want to limit their membership, they do have the right to.  Will they lose someone or something meaningful in the process?  Yes, but THEY DON'T CARE.

I'm certain, if I asked to join their group, I would be denied as well.  I'm blocked by the person I suspect is the administrator.

Bette, I luvs ya.  If I had a group, I would insist you had to be a member.  If you set up a group, I would be a member.

I thought the group name was blissful denial?

Out of curiousity, WHY did you try to join this group?
