Is it possible to remove topic creation for Group Membership? The feature feels extra; the accept/reject function on the membership page itself is enough. I was wondering if, even when topics are created, they can be automatically deleted after rejection or acceptance, or if topic creation could be disabled altogether.

Not quite sure I understand what you are asking, but yes, for a set of Groups, you can disable Topic creation for all of them, or just some of them.
That is specified on a per Category basis in their Security settings.

Umm, like when a user requests membership in a certain group, a topic is created with text such as “why the user wants to join the group” or whatever that is.

You can set a Group up to allow users to send membership requests.
