For those who have not been sucked in yet, there’s an NCCI Facebook group that we’ve had for some time, that Facebook finally migrated to its new format. About 2 minutes after it went “Live” in the new format, there were 76 members.

I have a problem with: 1. The fact that Facebook allows people to add other people to a group without asking 2. That people of the NCC facebook group actively use this feature 3. that my membership is such that I get email notifications for each message posted 4. that I can’t at the moment turn this off because I have no facebook access from work. So please people, don’t just use any facebook feature that exists. Do have the politeness to ask people before adding them to a group. Because of this, I would politely ask the group administrators to once again remove me from the group. Also, I wish Facebook would remove this functionality. This is already the second time someone added me to a group without asking. Generally, such behaviour is a primary motivation for me to not want to be part of such a group. I don’t want to be seen as part of a community which imposes itself upon others without asking. ## – Marcel Cox Marcel\_Cox’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=8](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=8) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=454448](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=454448) ---

I must have already turned off all my facebook email notifications because I was added by Danita, but I wasn’t spammed. Though this case didn’t bother me, I am surprised and somewhat displeased to know that any ‘friend’ can add me to any group without my permission. I would think an invite to join would be more appropriate. Oh well, Facebook is free to use…or not…and if I don’t like it, I don’t have to use it so I figure I don’t have much right to complain. – Kim - 4/10/2012 8:22:57 AM ---

When they moved to the “new group” format, it became a case of someone created a group, and you were just a member. I think FB is trying to equate this as something on the lines of email groups. I might have my own email groups that I add you to whether you know about it or not, and when I email to that group, it goes to all recipients. Then folks “reply to all” and it goes back to everyone, etc. You can ask me to take you off my email list, but I didn’t need your permission to put you there in the first place. I think the real problem with Facebook overall is that it has a tendency to add new features, change features and delete features without any notice or information about how these features work. – Danita Novell Knowledge Partner Upgrading to GroupWise 2012?

Hey DZanre, [color=blue] > Then folks > “reply to all” and it goes back to everyone, etc. You can ask me to > take you off my email list, but I didn’t need your permission to put > you there in the first place.[/color] Makes sense. Nobody asked me if I wanted to be added to the local phone directory either and I survived. I’m not going to commit suicide because of it. – Kim - 4/10/2012 12:54:14 PM ---

Marcel: As Danita has pointed out, those inviting others likely were unaware it wasn’t just an invitation that needed approval. I didn’t know that. The last I dealt with a group, you were asked to join and had to accept. I’ve now changed the settings for the group to where anyone can invite someone, but approval requires an admin. That’s the best that can be done, apparently. And someone has already removed you from the group, so you’re no longer a member. – Susan Novell Community Chat Moderator [http://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq\_rules](http://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq_rules) [http://www.ncci.org](http://www.ncci.org) NCCIrregulars Web Site [https://www.facebook.com/groups/NCCIrregulars](https://www.facebook.com/groups/NCCIrregulars) Please read the following before posting in here: [http://preview.tinyurl.com/27zopdy](http://preview.tinyurl.com/27zopdy) ---

Oh, and be assured that if someone adds you again, I’ll reject the move and not approve it, and ask the other admin to do the same. – Susan Novell Community Chat Moderator [http://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq\_rules](http://forums.novell.com/faq.php?faq=novfor#faq_rules) [http://www.ncci.org](http://www.ncci.org) NCCIrregulars Web Site [https://www.facebook.com/groups/NCCIrregulars](https://www.facebook.com/groups/NCCIrregulars) Please read the following before posting in here: [http://preview.tinyurl.com/27zopdy](http://preview.tinyurl.com/27zopdy)
