Can members create groups,either for the wider community or just for selected friends?
I`m a newbie still finding my way about and not sure how groups are created

██ 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 ".

I think I read that they are thinking about making that feature available, but I can imagine their concern. If anyone can make a group then you get hate groups, multiple groups for one topic or just completely inappropriate groups. I think they transfered the groups over from a different website that is no longer up, called Experienceproject

yeah the concern about hate etc I can see but a basic moderation system would deal with it. I hope they do make the feature available. It seems strange to have a place that markets itself as a free and open place to share experiences,gather strength from others, but then tells you that you can only be within certain groups. It kind of seems to contradict itself
Again thank you for your answers
