Can we do a little customization to prevent posting anything except open groups. Perhaps admins can have the option to edit a group and make it moderated in the rare case that's appropriate.
It's not clear in the moderation process sometimes when they are not created as open - for example I approved this group http://groups.drupal.org/yemen without realizing it was invite-only. I've just set it as open. Perhaps they were wondering why no one ever joined.

If it's a "dead" group we should probably delete it and merge the content and members to another group.
Would need a list for an issue
