Re: Require info from prospective members
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAs for my group we ask questions as well before admitting anyone to the group.? We are a Chronic Pain group.? We ask for a chronic pain related reason for joining the group as well as an affirmation such person will abide by the groups rules.? As well, one of the Co-Owners or Moderators checks internet and or social media postings by the prospective member before they are admitted.
However, since we have to abide by FDA rules as well as DEA as in regards to postings about illegal drugs one may use for pain, we view this as being mandatory for us to do.
