Pretty well everything else is up to you and your members to decide. We should always remember that our groups are run for the benefit of the members - you will never please everyone, but a majority is good! Think seriously before you impose local restrictions - one dilemma with restrictions is that if there are too many members will not remember them and it causes bad feeling to keep rejecting posts.
