Social Groups

**Avankiri** · 05-20-2008, 02:53 AM

Can someone please explain the three modes of Social Groups better? I didn't quite understand.

Public - Obviously, anyone can join.

Moderated - Didn't get that.

Invitation Only - Only the creator can allow people in?

You know public.
Moderated, is.. moderated. Comments, maybe even approval of who joins, that kind of thing. Basically, it has enforced rules - where a public group may not.
Invite only, obviously, invitation to join only. Not by the creator, but by whoever has the power to do so. For example, in the military, Sniper School is invitation only. If you get high marksman scores, they may be interested in you.

If becoming a sniper in the military is what you want then yes, it is by invitation only, however there are ways to increase one's chances in receiving such an invitation. Of course being an expert sharp shooter is quite obvious, but it is also a good idea to be on good terms with your commanding officer, for he would be the one to recommend you.

On top of that you can only be recommended if a spot opens up. If you are lucky enough you will be sent to "sniper school" where you will be taught the basics to the most advance rules and techniques of sniping and spotting. And even this you can "fail" and can be sent back to your original unit... however if you pass... I assume you get the idea

Aye, I was just trying to think of quick examples to give him. Didn't want to go into too much depth. I gave a basic explanation of each 'group,' then examples to try and answer the questions. (Didn't understand 'moderated,' and 'can only the creator or leader allow in?')

Yeah I would like to apologize, I get easily carried away with topics such as that

Oh, no, it's cool man. Now I have something to talk to you about on aim ^_^

Public - Obviously, anyone can join.

Moderated - When you create the group, post messages, a moderator will have to approve the group via ACP.

Invitation Only - Like it says, only the creator shall invite someone in.
