I've been waiting for the moderator to approve my membership. Does it send an alert so the moderator knows ?

Question

Can you follow up request for approval of membership?

Answer 1

a group has 14 days to approve a pending member, if it goes beyond 14 days there is a big possibility the owner of the group is either inactive or MIA.

Answer 2

When you request to join a group, the owner/moderator does get notified. Unless they have it set up so that they don't get email notifications. You can email the owner. Go to the group's home page and it will list the email address for the group owner. It will be something like [e-mail]. Something like that.

Just send them an email checking the status on your request to join. There may be a questionnaire that was sent to you and if so, be sure to fill it out and email it back to the owner, as you may not be approved without the completed questionnaire.
