โ†”๏ธ How would you Categorize All Groups and Posts on SW? ๐Ÿ”ƒ

Hello all! ๐Ÿ–๏ธ
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]

[c=#804600][big]โ€ข Questionable[/big][/c] [c=#666666][i](suggested to be [u]Reviewed[/u])[/i][/c]
[c=#800000][big]โ€ข 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]โ€ข Questionable
โ€ข 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.

Ok you want top level. Yet you have a very broad base of top level on that list.

Many here have requested a separation between questions and stories. Some have even left because of that lack. So such a broad base without a separation makes no sense.

All the above can be condensed and categorized to a smaller top level and you can just as well make them tabs since there is only four. Then use all the other topics as sub categories.

This is how I would arrange it. .

Questions
Discussions
Stories
Common interests.

Please keep in mind this is just a suggestion and you did ask for suggestions. This applies the KISS principal (Keep It Simple Son). What you are suggesting is complex. Perhaps too complex for some.
