Allow group closure without sending eject messages to all members
tracked
chew Resident
Currently, closing a group requires the group owner to first eject every single member. This sends a message to every member that makes them worry that they've done something wrong.
Please add a method for silently removing all members when disbanding the group.
Alternatively, consider a term less pointed than "ejected" in IM notification sent to each member, or allow the person performing the ejection to include the reason for removal.

You could send a notice before you do so...

Most definitely
not
silent removal of the group — I have some severe memory issues at times, and having things just disappear on me is, exceedingly disturbing because my first instinct is that I accidentally deleted it myself, and if I don't go find it again, I'll forget what it was, and so forth.That said, yes, so is the "you have been ejected" message. Please change this to something better. I also +1 for providing for a note from the groups owner if they wish (and I'd say this should be immune to message caps, you can only be in so many groups, after all).

I don't think that "silently removing members" is a good idea. I would certainly notice I was no longer in a group. It would cause more confusion than it is worth. We need the ability to send a custom message.

Please. Closing a group shouldn’t cause this much anxiety and terse messaging

To add to that if there are multiple groups owners and let's say 2 owners passed away, the group will remain there forever.

Elliot Evergarden which is more of a problem in a virtual world with an aging population, such as SL. I agree. I'm part of a community of almost 100 members, of which I'm the third youngest — at 55.

I agree!!!

I’ve had to close two groups recently because of a historical spelling mistake which meant the group could not be found in search that I inherited.
A better reason would be very acceptable than ‘ejected’.
Gwyneth Llewelyn
AAngel Braveheart a better way to deal with
that
would, of course, to request that groups could
change their names 🤣 Problem solved!AAngel Braveheart
Gwyneth Llewelyni agree, but technically it appears to be not functional possible.

Just passing by to press F in homage to Blueberry CSR team, that had to remove 50k from a closing group as the store closed.

Alternately, allow the group owner to select a different message from a drop-down, perhaps something like "This group is being closed to all except officers." or "This group is being closed down." or "Thank you for participating in our event. All temporary event members are being removed from the group at this time." The last would be very useful for some groups.
