Ability to rename a group
tracked
Amber Lyndhurst
I have been in bussiness for over 17 years in sl with the same group, I would love to add the word "Rentals" to the end of the group name so it explains what the group is about and is easier to find, if we can rename AV's, surely we can rename groups? the only way to rename a group at the present is to create a new group, evict everyone from the old group then invite them to the new group.

I think a reasonable fee should be applied to this so it is not abused. For me, reasonable is something under 5$.

I've heard a lot of comments over the years about if a group is changed to an undesirable name but there's easy fixes. Temporarily remove the group from people's profiles. Send a message just like any notice stating the group name is changed and people click either "Accept and Show", "Accept and Hide", or "Leave Group", and maybe add "Report Name Change" in case it's really bad or abusive. You can't cancel it either, it'll stay in notifications until you decide what you do.
The very small chance of a bad faith actor abusing this is not enough to make up for something far more people could benefit from, considering the only other option is starting a new group, pushing for people to join the new one, kicking everyone out of the old, etc. If a name change hid from profiles (so no griefing could be done that way) and you were forced to select what to do in the name change, it could alleviate the stress of the current method without allowing for someone to abuse the name change.

If you implement it, we need to be able which group was which and able to track the change somehow.
I don't wanna join a group called "My Little Pony" and a few days later the group to be renamed to an adult name...

I would not be upset if this cost money, just like renaming avatars (maybe, half as much?) — I don't want groups being renamed on a whim, but I
do
want the ability to do so.
