How To Make Adding New Members To A Group Require Administrator Status.

I am creator/admin of a "Secret" Facebook group (used for my game playing friends) and I want to know how to make administrators only capable of adding new members to the group. With everyone capable of adding friends/acquaintences - the group is getting unwieldy and just as bad as no group at all.

Except there's a bug, that allows anyone to add members without approval, even if you have the option selected that it requires admin approval.

Membership Approval:

Only admins can approve requests to join.
