Hi everyone 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Good news!!!

[b][u][c=BF0000]Users can now create Groups on Similar Worlds!![/c][/u][/b]

Only accounts older than 6 months can create new groups. There is also a minimum account reputation, to qualify.


To create a new Group, find any "level 3 forum" (like, for example, [b]People & Family > Pets > [c=BF0000]Dogs[/c][/b]), and then press the link "[u]Associated Groups[/u]".
If you are eligible to create a new group, you will find this button:



[b]Please note:[/b]
- Non-VIP users can create up to 3 groups, currently.
- VIP users can create up to 10 groups, currently.
- Groups that are offensive, hateful, discriminative, revolting or disgusting, or containing name-calling or personal attacks are not allowed.
- Creating an inappropriate Group will risk you losing the ability to create new Groups in the future.

As this feature is still in BETA mode, some moderation features are still under development, which we will be releasing in the coming days/weeks.
If you find any issues, please let us know. 👍🏼

Enjoy!
@Nuno how do we know what our “account reputation” is?
@Nuno Awesome. Taking the "Archer" matter into my own hands.

@NerdyPotato How do you find where it says Create Groups Im having problems finding it
@JohnOinger are you able to find the associated groups? It should be right there. If not, maybe you're in a first or second level forum, or aren't eligible to create groups.

@OogieBoogie Here's an example where the button is available - https://similarworlds.com/pets/dogs/groups

Only "Level 3 Forums" will show this button, under the "Associated Groups" page of those Forums.

@Nuno That's interesting. I may try it just for the hell of it. lol
@Nuno ok. But im having trouble finding a level three Forum

This is all i found . What am i doing wrong?
SW-User
@OogieBoogie Yep... I'm not sure how to go about it all either.
@SW-User Im so confused ....
im trying different approaches, yet i cant seem to find a "level three" forum to work from 🤷‍♀️
SW-User
@OogieBoogie Same. I'm off to work. At least I get something worthy of my time there. lol
@SW-User AH,i think ive got it.
You choose a main one.
Tjen a sub one
Then you get down to the actual 'groups' (like we orignially had . You know the ones in the boxes with a picture ). Click on that ...and then scroll down and look for 'associated groups' - click that .... then the 'create' option comes up.
@Nuno so I apparently don’t have sufficient “account reputation” to create a poetry group. Dogs yes, poetry know. Is that right?
@Nuno never mind. It was a second tier forum. Writing poetry and I love poetry (third tier forums,) I can create. Thank you. I still want to know how we can see our know our “account reputation,” though.
@Nuno i be out here cuh 👌
@Nuno ok...i worked it out by trial and error.
Thanks.
