Group join approval settings not saving

This is not a group that I own.

I have full permissions for this group, and I am attempting to set the “Require Approval” setting of the group to combat spambots. I am trying to set it to “Manual approval”. Unfortunately, even though I can set it, click save, and see the blue “Settings updated.” notification, refreshing the page or exiting and returning to the settings page reveals that the setting did not save. This is an issue, especially given that the group is growing enough to start being a target for spambots.

Edit: No settings are saving at all.

This is really just a front-end bug.
You shouldn’t even be able to see yourself toggling those settings.
Only the owner should be able to edit many of these settings.

I’ll try to work on getting this front-end issue cleaned up.

Oh! That makes plenty of sense. Okay. I’ve gotten my friend (The group owner) to sort it out.
Thanks for clearing that up.
