Create Linden / Mole operated group for Bellisseria Merchants & Shoppers

There needs to be a free to join group for Bellisseria Merchants to network.
A group has been made by a resident big brand and is being gatekept, owners of shops must contact them and request membership. This presents obvious conflicts of interest between group membership and moderation.

Hello Jelly!
Residents are encouraged to create groups for various purposes, and may choose to manage their membership for any reason.
If you believe that this group is violating of our Terms of Service and Community Standards, please take the time to file an abuse report.

Oatmeal Linden Sorry but this is Linden doing half a job as usual.
Everything Linden should have a group, and that group needs to also be made and run by Linden/Mole.
Not doing so puts group moderation and messaging beyond Linden control and becomes a single point of contention in the hands of whichever random resident happened to shout FIRST.

The Bellisseria Shoppers group is openly free to join. The merchants group is for merchants who own land in the new shopping regions. It makes sense that it's invite only because why shouldn't Bellisseria merchants be allowed to have a closed group where they know for sure they are conversing only with other Bellisseria merchants??? This seems like a silly request borne of bad faith and paranoia.

Anybody even remotely interested in trying to win a shop or start selling in-world should be permitted to join an a fully open group moderated by a neutral Linden or Mole without having to file an appeal for approval via IM to a self-appointed big brand. Anybody should be able to pop in also, and at any time. The current group created by a big creator brand is blatantly anti-competitive in every sense of the word.

yeah i definitely won't consider buying premium plus to get a Bellisseria shop if i have to deal with an invite only group owned by big brands with a vested interest in keeping out new brands/stores.
