How to "Contact" close a group: an easy and quick way

The social network "VKontakte" has such a wide popularity among users not only thanks to the opportunity to communicate, listen to music or watch a video. Interests - that's what unites people, and the various theme groups in this social network give people a chance to find someone with the same hobbies as they do.

Communities can be different: open, closed and private. Everyone has their pros and cons, about which a little more below. After describing the advantages and disadvantages, perhaps many will be interested in how to change what has already been created, i. E. How to make the group closed if it was previously open, or vice versa.

By the way, according to statistics, people often change the type of communities. For example, the question of how to close the group "VKontakte" is of interest to users quite often. Well, let's start analyzing the communities.

Open group in the "VC"

pros

• The opportunity for potential participants to pre-evaluate the content and understand whether it is suitable.
• You can join the group without the prior consent of the community administrators.

Minuses

• The influx of trolls and spammers, who are trying to push advertising everywhere and everywhere, can not always be controlled due to the lack of administrators and community moderators in the "VKontakte" at the time of the attack.
• Some people can add a group to the bookmarks, because of what the number of participants will grow a little worse.

Closed group in the "VC"

pros

• Administrators can choose who deserves to be in their group and who does not.
• The influx of trolls and spammers is easier to contain.
• Some mystery, associated with complete ignorance of what will be in the group.
• Joy after being taken to the community. Feeling that he joined a secret organization.

Minuses

• To look at a closed group "In Contact" potential participants before joining is impossible, because of what we have to wait for the administrators to enter the community first, and then evaluate the content, which, perhaps, will not work at all.
• Some users need information right away. Because of this, it is easier for them to join an open community with a similar theme, rather than waiting for the approval of closed administrators.

Private group in the "VC"

There will be no pluses and minuses. It is, rather, a separate kind of communities. Only friends can be invited to private groups. Left people here "shove" will not work. Moreover, when searching for a particular group, users do not display private communities.

Some users start a private group to be in it in proud solitude and repost interesting things from a variety of public, without cluttering the main page.
