Rules
Rules will go within the “About this group” section once your group is created. Providing rules, regulations, and expectations for group activities is optional.

If you choose to make your group Private, you may then select whether you want your group to be Listed or Unlisted. Again, the form is self-explanatory as to the effects of each choice.
