No freedom in private groups? - Blu-ray Forum

mikejet · 10-27-2009, 11:27 PM

So we can't discuss whatever we want? I mean if the group is private and we are all friends in the group then what's the harm?

pacificvibes · 10-27-2009, 11:28 PM

huh oh..

mikejet · 10-27-2009, 11:31 PM

Or could we hide the private groups? So that it's only viewable to the people that are in it?

that would be a good idea but then people are going to get all hurt.

I would love to be able to "let my hair down" in a private group discussion where anything goes. After all we are adults (which means we should be able to act like children!).

I think having the invite only groups only viewable by members (and obviously mods) would be a great idea. Sort of like we can make our user profiles only viewable by friends.

Note- Remember just because they are not an invited guest, any member can view what you write. And of course they can report the post as well.

This beats the purpose of having Social Groups to begin with though. It wouldn't make sense to create a group with only friends invited yet can't discuss what they would like to discuss because other members like to check in every now and then.

I'm just throwing in my 2 cents, here. But, I like the Social Groups. It strays away from the spammers who post "WANT TO BUY THE NEWEST CELLPHONE FOR THE CHEAPEST PRICE FROM THE FACTORY". I think it gives a more feeling of freedom. I mean, I still talk about what I want to talk about, but I still stay within the rules. I think that as long as we still follow the rules, we should be okay.

you have a point. But I don't see a point of having Social group if it doesn't meet the purpose.

Toxa · 10-28-2009, 10:56 AM

The forum rules should apply there as well.

mikejet · 10-28-2009, 12:57 PM

Does that mean that talking badly about members we don't like will be frowned upon?

Moefiz · 10-28-2009, 01:43 PM

I like the Social groups, just a bunch of guys hanging out talking about nothing, as long that we stay within the guidelines of the Forum.I also think that the social groups that are members only should not bed seen by member that are not in the group.

Mods being the only exception to that rule.
