↔️ How would you Categorize All Groups and Posts on SW? 🔃

Hello all! 🖐️
We have been moving ahead with plans of restructuring Similar World's Groups and Categories [i](for all Post types)[/i].

As most users may already know, the existing various groups that exist on SW, were imported [i](many hundreds of thousands)[/i] from the defunct website, EP.

To properly organize and improve Similar Worlds, we aim to provide a Category based Hierarchal structure, for all Posts on SW.

[b]This will allow posted content to be properly grouped and categorized,
so that users will finally be able to see more of the content they are looking for,
and less of the types of content they wish to not see.[/b]


To move another step closer towards having these changes made, we would now like to allow users the opportunity to suggest to us (the SW staff):

[c=#4C0073][b]What [u]Broad Categorization[/u] do you believe to be most accurate, for the various existing groups and categories that currently appear on our website.[/b][/c]


[c=#800055]We will be working on a feature, yet to be released,
likely a [u]Drop-Menu of Categories[/u], which will exist within each Group on this site, whereby any user can place their "Vote" for the correct categorization of that group, by making a selection from the Drop-Menu list of options.[/c]


Below is a sample [i](but not the final)[/i] list of Broad/Top-Level Categories we are considering, to group of all posts on SW within.

[i](Further categorized into sub-categories, but we will address this later.)[/i]

[quote][big]List of Broad / Top-Level Categories on SW[/big][i] (Incomplete / Pending)[/i]

[big][c=#004A59]• Career
• Fun & Questions
• Health & Fitness
• Identity
• Interests
• Life
• Politics
• Relationship
• Religion
• Self-Improvement
• Sports
• Struggles[/c][/big]
[sep]
[c=#804600][big]• Questionable[/big][/c] [c=#666666][i](suggested to be [u]Reviewed[/u])[/i][/c]
[c=#800000][big]• Illegal[/big][/c] [c=#666666][i](strongly suggested to be [u]Removed[/u])[/i][/c]
[/quote]


[c=#4C0073][b]You can assist us via the comments section below,
by proposing a final list for our Broad / Top-Level Categories
(or by simply suggested adjustments to our list).[/b][/c]


The options listed as:
[b]• Questionable
• Illegal[/b]

... can be utilized by users, to help bring to attention inappropriate groups more quickly,
so that we can sooner flush out unwanted and inappropriate groups and discussions, from our Similar Worlds community.

Just wanna say, I'm really hype for this. Maybe replace religion with spirituality to make it a little broader? Also, a 'food' category might be wise.

@BlueVeins

@BlueVeinsWhat about leave both religion/spirituality..Cause not everyone who's spiritual is religious and vice versa.I think more new age,pagan and not mainstream religions with spirituality and religion,Christian,Islam etc..

@passingby8 Ehhh the way the original list is kinda suggests that they want the names to be concise. There are some religious people who wouldn't identify as spiritual, but that's pretty damn rare you know? I don't even know what that would be. They do kinda have different connotations though.

@passingby8 Good point. Although it might seem odd to some religion is the last place I would be searching on for spirituality. Conversely some religious folk will be offended by what spirituality could throw up.

by the way ‘Spirituality and Religion’ is already a question category 😅 so they’d probably just use that anyway

@adorbz I Just Suggested Two New Categories To Andrew LOL
