      Groups can gather people of similar focus and/or similar locations.

      • The “Groups” section displays the same content as is displayed in the Categories >> Topics, depending on who is a member of what group.
      • Every user can pick a “Badge” related to a group (only one of the groups they're in) and issue it on their profile. This can be set via >> Profile >> Edit Profile >> Group Title.
      • There is no other special function of the “Groups” section – and therefore no reason to get crazy setting new groups. :-)

      If you want to create a new group, please do your best to follow this procedure:

      1. Check if there is a similar group already existing.
      • If it is, join that group. Please do not create a duplicate group just with a slightly different meaning or title.
      • If it’s not, you can create a new group.
      • If there’s a group referring to an activity in a very general way, while you’d like to specify a location for that activity etc., you can create a new group with a geographic specification in the group name.
      1. Don’t create a non-sense group name. Such groups will be deleted instantly.

      2. Use English (or universal, internationally readable) words in the group name.

      • In case you use a different language, whether in Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese or any other letters, make sure to include (in brackets) an English translation of the group name.
      • In case the group name refers to a geographic location (state, city, mountain, river, etc.), make sure to include (in brackets) the full name of the country concerned.
        --> Example: מזג אויר רכס ארסוף (Weather in Arsuf, Israel) ; 台灣地震分析 (Taiwan Seismic Analysis) .
      1. If you can, set your group as Public, not Private. Otherwise, we will set it as Public.

      2. Upload a cover picture which best describes the activity and/or location that your group refers to. If you don’t, we will upload one.
        --> Tip: You can use pictures that you took, or free photos from Unsplash.com.

      If you don’t respect these rules (or at least try to), we will keep deleting any duplicate and/or non-sense groups. We really want to keep the “Groups” section clear and comfortable for everyone.

      Thank you for understanding & enjoy!


      UPDATE: For the reasons mentioned above, we have recently disabled the option to create new groups.

      If you want to create a new group, please let me know its purpose and the title, and I will create it for you (or not). :)
