Social Group owners can now have their own public/private forum and be that forums moderator.
Here is how it is setup.
I have created a new category (like GBR, off topic) called "Social Group forums" (SGf) at the bottom of the forum page.
SG (Social Group) owners who have 60 members will be able to create their own forum under SGf from their SG.
You will be the moderator of that forum and you can request to the Admins to have other members of your SG added as mods to your forum.
SG's that have group type set to "moderated" or "invite only" will have their forum and everything in it visible only to the SG members, Senior Mods and Admins. Mods and other users will not even see the forum listed in the SGf cat. These SG forums will be known as private.
SG's with the group type of public that create a forum must follow the site rules. These will be visible to everyone, but can only be posted in by that SGs members and senior members.
Private SG forums will follow the /b/ rules. /b/ officially have a "no rules" policy, save for a ban on certain illegal content, such as child pornography. This "no rules" policy applies to Admin and Senior Mod actions as well, meaning that users may have their threads/posts deleted at any time, for any reason, including none.
Once a Private SG forums is created, the SG may not then be changed to public without first removing all threads that that don't conform to site rules.
This will eventually replace the Clubs forums. So if you have a forum in Clubs, you need to get your Social Group forum started and I will move all your threads over. The Clubs forums will be removed by the end of the year regardless.
