"Private Posts" allow users to communicate much more freely and openly, with a form of privacy, between trusted Friends and Acquaintances.
[b]Posts marked as "Visible to Circle/Friends", can only be Seen and Accessed by those in the poster's Circle and Friends Lists.[/b]
Once a post has been created as "Private" (Circle/Friends), it cannot be converted into Public (Everyone) thereafter (for privacy reasons, to the existing commenters).
We hope that you will be able to enjoy and make good use of this and other new features we have worked hard on and released for you all!
Kind regards! [i][c=#005E2F]-SW Staff[/c][/i]

Thank you for your efforts to enhance our user experience. I think it's a great feature overall. I'm glad you added it.
But one negative that I can see already is people shit talking about other users in large private groups design to exclude the users they want to shit talk about. It will be used as way to get around ToS violations.
Also, sexual predators will create private groups to network, trade illicit content, and do whatever else it is they do.
Just like any other good thing, it will be abused. I hope SW has devised a method to detect and suppress abuses of the feature in the form of ToS violations and illegal activity.
@quitwhendone First off I think it’s good to have a place you can go, where you can gripe about someone and vent to others. This is actually a good method of not being an angry person and lashing out. People are always pissed at people so hopefully it’ll make it more peaceful on public posts. Hell I love my family but still need to vent about them. Most psychiatrists would say this is a good source to help vent frustrations, almost like a letter method but with someone actually listening. You can also share your opinion or experiences without people tearing you apart because you simply think differently than them.
