You are on a group profile page, the entry point into a group.
Groups can be open or closed. In a closed group, you must either receive an invitation or ask permission to join. Open groups can be joined by anyone just by clicking the 'join group' button. Joining a group usually allows you to make posts and participate in discussions within that group. Many groups have content that is visible to non members as well as content only available to members.
Group owners have a lot of control over the appearance and available tools in a group. If you are a group owner, do explore the group widgets that let you present the group exactly as you wish to whoever you wish, as well as providing tools to add group wire posts, discussion posts and so on, and do explore the 'edit group' options as there are many ways to tweak a group to look and behave exactly as you wish.
We welcome comments on public posts from members of the public. Please note, however, that all comments made on public posts must be moderated by their owners before they become visible on the site. The owner of the post (and no one else) has to do that.
