██ Create Groups

The team may eventually allow the creation of groups, but this feature needs a lot of thought and discussion before being released.

If creation of groups is allowed freely, we may end up with many duplicate and misspelled group again. Members may also label the content rating of a new group incorrectly in that case, which caused a lot of problems in the first days of SW with adult groups appearing in the non-adult areas.

The team has different ideas to secure the creation of new groups properly. They may allow some setup where members can suggest new groups for creation, and SW staff would have to approve these groups manually. Otherwise group creation may be limited to certain groups of members, such as Admins, Staff, Moderators, Helpers, and Trusted Members (those with a high reputation).

In the mean time members can use the group search and make use of the large variety of groups already available.

Suggestion without feedback: Do not require group names to start with "I ".

@Jessa29: Hi jessa long time no see hope your well

Can you tell me why SW deemed it necessary for all underage users to be blocked from seeing and interacting with adults ?

@Jessa29: But some of the group names we already have are just bonkers, loads have less than 10 people following them and some are virtually the same already anyway. I understand it must take a lot of work but we do need some kind of auto dump for group with no activity say after 1 year. I would also like to start a group, if it does not work and get followers would be happy if it then gets dumped rather than be reminded i must be dull and the only person who likes said subject ☺

@Lazarus: i think that is the choice of the user, to block or not block
