It would be handy if the Past members display that currently exists for Premium groups had a "reinstate" function of some kind...effectively Direct Adding that account back to the group. Thanks for

The trouble with jumping to conclusions is that you can get it wrong. They have delegated responsibility. Just because an option works for you does not always make it suitable for others. A moderator
