Did they get rid of this feature?
The fact that we’re allowed to ask qualifying questions before granting admittance to a group…and yet, people don’t have to answer…renders the questions pointless. Facebook ought to fix that.
The feature still exists. I guess you can’t make answering mandatory, I wish you could. But I suppose after 3 days if they don’t answer (and after 4 reminders), you can just delete their request.
They have made it a search for the Holy Grail to find how to add / change your questions.
Once you get to MEMBER REQUEST / you’ll find a little icon of a person next to the search box.
Click there to find the questions box.
This option DOES NOT EXIST!!!!
