So people wont be able to create social groups after 10th of June?
Will they leave entirely or be brought back later? |
I like this idea completely. There have been too many SPAM discussions, and social groups being untouched, except by dust and cobwebs. Also, there is too many of the same social group, so I have a suggestion, if it's possible:
Do you think there could be an automated warning that denies a social group being made if there was already one similar, or the same made before? |

I always thought they should be just done away with completely. We have Other Clubs that is actually under moderation, and I always thought that was better than Social Groups. They both do pretty much the same thing anyway, IMO. |
Does this mean that there might be a possibility of an assigned moderator for social groups, or would the task simply be attended to by the upper or all staff?
|
I object to this completely. Not that it's going to do much good. But I do intend to re-found the social groups I do own. x3
|
We'll see how it works but when if the hstaff gets too lazy busy, yeah there might be a mod assigned mainly to look after them.
I'm hoping it doesn't get to that though; with groups moderated it should be MUCH easier to look after them. Can't wait to nuke 'em~ |

I support the removal of the Social Groups.
There have been many copies of existing groups and plenty of spammy groups which are irrelevant... |
well personally i enjoy the social groups...it mostly what drew me to the site...but msot of my groups are kinda dead right now...so i understand the decision...and even if i dint...its not like i can do anything about (except complain) but that wont do much....i do hope that they might allow us to moderate our own groups still...but i doubt they will...

I don't use them much, anyway, and the ones I do use have since gone inactive, so I'm indifferent about this.
|
Um, I'll just ask. Why will you remove all the Social Groups on June 10.? :)
|
I support this, Social Groups are extremely inactive. =\ I do have the Wolves Hideout group to help make the real group not full of spam. =|
|
I'm sorry to question, but why delete ALL of them? There are really some that are still very active. Isn't it possible to just filter out the most inactive and delete those? It would be very hard for the groups to regain activity.
Also, what kind of requirements would be required for a group to be accepted after the revamp? |
I object, I think it is unfair to delete the active ones, I agree that a lot of them are dead, but delete all of them?
Granted a lot of ppl don't visit the section all the time, but some of the conversations we have had... I wonder how many would be deleted if you removed all the user groups with one member?, never mind, I counted: 79 |
Back when this was first brought up, we were originally going to delete the inactive groups. However, the sheer number of groups made it impossible. Plus, there were multiples for one topic and it seemed unfair to pick and choose which groups to delete and what to keep. This way, PC's groups get a fresh start and the staff doesn't have to pick and choose.
|
It would seem logical to remove that which is not being used, and it is simple for the more popular groups to get a reinstatement (of sorts, somehow).
I'd join a group, however there is none that have particularly taken my interest, especially if not much is to be discussed on the topic. Though I might create one (Pokemon and Philosophy) |

Why have Other Clubs when you have Social Groups? It's quite redundant. Pick one or the other, in my opinion (I'd pick Social Groups, for the better organization and amount of features). I also agree that a full on purge is needed for Social Groups at the moment. Why even complain that a group is getting wiped? It's not like they even count for your post count (not to mention - you shouldn't be complaining about your post count regardless). |
I object to this entirely, It's nonsense! I'm gonna make a group against it!
Screw you CHANGE! You know what, I've changed my mind. I love this idea. Quote:

To be honest, I couldn't care less due to my almost non-existence on there, but it honestly is just a big spam hole. Theres really only a handful of active groups anyway, and 100's of useless ones made every day.
|
They don't seem to get used much anyway.
|
Lol, I can't find the image for it, but it's somewhere on fail blog, anyway, it was a fail about how people who made a group, complaining about how people have several groups of the same thing, when infact, their group of complaining about too many of the same groups, already had four groups in of itself.
EDIT found it: http://failblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fail-owned-facebook-group-fail.jpg?w=500&h=406 |
I still do object, but at least if we nuke them all no one can cry and say their group was singled out for deletion. Besides, we can always reform the active groups, and such. I know I'm going to reinstate #thepokecommunity Regulars, and my Project EmblemDex group and get them active again. I think the main problem is that there are so many stupid spammy social groups now, that the good ones don't get much traffic, because they simply cannot be found amongst the thousands there. I'm glad that at least something is being done to rein in the chaos.

Social Groups > Imitation Social Groups (aka Clubs)
I hate how the current social groups are ALL going to be removed. I've also been waiting for social group ID number 1337 to create a group on 133tness just for the fun of it but it seems I'll never be able to achieve my goal now. x.x |
