If you receive an invite from a group member or manager, answer it.
It is important to note that, managers of the group may check your request or additional details may be requested of you making sure you meet the standards of the membership.

Spams and Focusing on Discussion
There is a steady flow of spams and self- promotion because of the nature of groups having the capacity to access a large crowd without thinking much about spams and solution if it happens. The email address of members is not inspected to check if they are spammers.
People should concentrate on ones with questions or discussions by checking the quality of the discussions especially those topics which are relevant to you or you share the same interests with. You have to constantly check the topics making sure it is not mostly promotional.
