██ 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 ".
