"how can i make my yahoo group private?

Question

b'cos i dont want anyone other than my classmates to either visit or join my group.

Answer 1

I'd consider restricted membership and take the group out of the directory listing

management- under group settings click membership- Membership Type and Welcome Message (Edit) <-- click the edit- 3 choices

* Open (anyone can join)

* Restricted (you approve all requests for membership)

* Closed (only invited members can join) If you select this option, web tools that were previously set to "public" will be

(if one chooses the closed, it cannot be reversed and invites are glitchy and many people resent this choice later)

click save changes

if one chooses closed, there's no need to worry about the directory, but if one chooses restricted-

management- under group settings click description and appearance-  Description (Edit) <-- click the edit- scroll to directory type and select *  Not listed in Yahoo! Groups directory- click save changes

Answer 2

I understand what you are saying.   Sometimes, if you don't make it private you get all kinds of hooligans.    But, sorry, I don't know how to do that.

Answer 3

Start by killing yourself - you'll know what to do after that.
