Changing the group name

    Before I start I thank you for this great software! I’ve got a question with changing the group names: Why can admins change the name of their groups? Let’s say I have a group which is called “We like football”. I wait till enough members are in my group and then I changed the name in “FC Chelsea sucks!” This can’t be. Either admins can’t change the name of their groups or the site admin will have to confirm it.

    Greetings,

    Admins can change the name of their groups because they are the rulers of their little kingdoms. If you don’t trust the admin – don’t join the group.

    Of course there are many ways to look at the group functionality. For my part, I see the group as a community within the community – a place where a few people can coordinate something, discuss something, or whatever. A group has it’s dynamics, and part of that is being able to change. Perhaps the “Event X Planning Group” will later take on a new event and thus change their name to “Event Y Planning Group”, or perhaps they’ll just bask in their old glory and rename the group “We who were behind event X”.

    Another way to see the group functionality is the way they have evolved on Facebook – a sort of name list, each group a statement on a particular issue, with no function other than to be spammed and show up on profile pages.

    If you prefer the latter, I can understand your predicament. A plugin can probably be built to provide the functionality you are looking for.
