As leader of the community, I made a difficult but necessary decision to keep our group running smoothly in light of the changes to LinkedIn’s group platform.

BACKGROUND: LinkedIn now allows any group member to post anything they want, without moderation.

ASSESSMENT: That’s unacceptable and violates my first promise to you: To keep the group spam-free and curated for intelligent, worthwhile conversations.

SOLUTION: To stop spam, I switched all users to “requires moderation” so I can evaluate discussions before they are posted. Unfortunately, comments also “require moderation,” which is frustrating for you and more work for me.

It’s all-or-nothing with LinkedIn’s change and I decided “no spam” is more important than “comments immediately posted.” I’m confident the group’s majority agrees.

INVITATION: Please register at http://medgroup.biz/MDG-SITE so we always can communicate no matter what changes LinkedIn makes to the group product. Thank you.

I have a new Recommended Best Practice for dealing with the new LinkedIn groups interface:
Don’t use it. Instead go to your Profile.
Scroll to the bottom and you will see a “Your Groups” page.
if you expand the “see all” button, you can now see a more compact version of the old “Groups List” you had before LinkedIn “improved” its Groups interface.
