Mostly the way clubs are managed. I think a member that has reached some kind of achievement needs to be able to start their own group (For example, you need at least 50 posts on the site / forum to be able to start your own group). That person can then invite people into the group, with of course some limitation on the number of invites you can send.

Moderators really won't have the time to accept / deny every single person who wants to start a group, so your suggestion to let them do that wouldn't work in my opinion.

Also, no group joining without an invitation unless the owner of the group has allowed this in the group settings. Some groups will be "official" build teams and we don't want random people joining that group.

Third point, owners should be able to kick whoever they want. This sounds a bit unfair, but it's not something that is pretty close to impossible to moderate. If a person is kicked from a group for unfair reasons it would mean the owner of that group isn't really a kind person. So why would the person even want back into a group from such a mean owner? Groups with owners like that will die out them self.

Of course moderators should still prevent actual harassment within and between groups.


As I stated in my previous reply, this idea is very close to a previous idea: http://www.planetminecraft.com/tickets/168/
However, your idea is about groups for anything and not just to share uploads/xp.
