• The [b]Minimum Requirements[/b] for users to have the privilege of creating their own Groups (and how many groups per user).
• [b]What Abilities[/b] should a Group owner/creator have? Should they have certain "Moderation Power" within their created group (and what exactly?)

[u]On-Topic comments[/u] here will be taken as [u]Feedback[/u] for user-created/owned Groups, but doesn't guarantee that every or most ideas will be integrated.
SW Staff do already have some ideas in mind for how this could and should be done, but we would still like to hear feedback from users, to better shape our ideas to best serve our user-base.
Off-Topic comments will be ignored (as usual). Kindly do not post off-topic comments on any posts (Admin or otherwise). One can eventually lose the ability to interact on certain posts/groups, if they continuously break Code of Conduct.
Kind regards! [i]-The SW Team[/i]

[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. 👍🏼
@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.
@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 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.
