Subscribed to a group about 2 weeks ago and still not approved why?

Question

subcribed to TCfreecycle group about 2 weeks ago and message says pending owner approval why is this

Answer 1

Moderators have 14 days to approve.  Check the chart below the group it will show you the activity.  If not much going on you would be best to find a more active group.

Answer 2

For a Yahoo!Group that is NOT Public, it requires the Group Owner and/or Group Moderator to approve a request for membership.

You should have received approval within a few days (provided the Owner/Moderators are doing their jobs).  Locate their email addresses on the Group's Home Page and send them a follow-up email message.

Good Luck.  Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Most likely, the owner of the group is either away or not active in the group anymore.  Is there another freecycle group for your area?  If so, join that one instead.  Otherwise, you'll have to try joining that group again or contact freecycle about the inactive group owner.

Answer 4

many freecycle groups require a check for potential members to ensure they're local, and not spammers...

check with the owner of the group that they don't require some kind of information - the owner address is on the front page:
