Does everyone see who I ban?

Question

If I as owner ban someone - does everyone know about it? this person has been a problem from day one and she is gone, but I don't want everyone to know about it- will stir things up and we are just settleing down. thank you

Answer 1

As far as I know the ordinary members can only see the "members" / "moderators" and the "bouncing members" if they are allowed to see the members section at all. (the owner can restrict the access to it)

If you want to be certain about this issue, restrict your members to access to the "members" section of your group - and here is how you can do it:

Answer 2

One way to get rid of a member that does not go public is just to check the box next to his/her name and click the "Remove Member" button at top. Only a owner/moderator can do that.  The person is just removed not banned.

Answer 3

yes, we do

we know who you banned last summer

Answer 4

if they are trouble why worry.

This is your business and why have it become a unpleasant place

you did the right thing

Answer 5

There is no way for other members to know you have banned someone from your group. There are a few troublesome members when banned, if they know the email addresses of current members, they could send personal emails to to them and try to stir up trouble privately.

They might also join your group under another profile/address in order to stir more up.
