group/event members list

In closed group members list is accessible for non-members, which is not ok. 

As far I can conclude - in closed group it must be closed information. And in secret one as well.

I suppose that the same thing going on in Events.

My suggestion is : add option to choose visibility of group/event members list (all | group/event members | admins | me)

 

NB

by members I mean members of closed group, not members of the site.

    • Please see the description of the "Closed" group:

      Closed - anyone can find the group and see who's in it, only members can see posts.

      • Yes, You're right. It is. Sure. It works according to UNA plans. That's why I've post it in Suggestions, not in Troubleshooting:)) 

        But.

        Let's open, you and me, the Close Group named, say, Smart Guys. Or Reading Shelf. Or Save the Ocean. And WE (you and me, remember?) both wants to make this group closed and very selective. let's say, that we do want IN THERE Leonid and somehow DO NOT want there Andrew. For some reason. And WE BOTH don't want to heart Andrew and we don't want him to know that we both are inventors of this group and, more than this, we do invite Leonid. 

        I'm ensure you, Оpen Members List of Close Groups - is a very hard_to_menage thing.

        It is best recipe for jealousy and litige in small or medium community.

        With all my respect and acknowledgment :))

         

        • Exactly, this is what is "Secret" group privacy for.

          • Yes, but nobody can find secret group. It is very inconvinient because the invitation can be sent only in email, not on site.

            The main idea imho is: If in close group there is no option to hide members list - the closing itself is pointless. Members are the content of the group and it have to be such option. Finally - let admin to deside.

             

            • I don't see reason to change this behaviour for now. I think what you want is secret group, link to the group can be send by email, messenger, sms, etc.

              • You don't see the reason to change - doesn't means that it's not exist :)

                Sending_link instead of invite_and_notification on site ... is it the revolutionary contemporary approach Andrew speaks about all the time?

                By your decision you taking from us ability to decide what to show and when to show. More than this: you pushing our users to go inconvenient, non-clear, strange way despite existence of good, working, world-standard one. It is in FB, it is in D7, why it so bad to UNA?

                But let imagine for a minute that current option IS better. Let me ask you some simple questions to clarify that:

                - why it necessary (to your knowledge) to show list of closed group?

                - how it improve the privacy of closed group members?

                - how it encourage users to join closed group?

                We still talking about social networking and we have to keep in mind social behavior of our customers.

                I'd understand answer like: "we're sink in bugs for now, but it will be changed once we get thing in order, 10 milestone created". It's good, acceptable answer I've totally stand by.  With all due respect and thankful for your kind personal help - I can't say same words about your current answer.
