Overall increase in group space for all residents is needed. There are hundreds of creators, business owners, and people in secondlife and so many are talented. It's a shame we can't show our support due to the current group limits. 42, 50, 70, and 140 is not enough. I am a current Premium plus member and 140 is just not enough. I find myself constantly having to choose between which groups to leave in order to join another. I propose an increase to the following: Basic Members--100 group limit Plus Members--150 group limit Premium Members--250 group limit Premium Plus Members--400 group limit People who are worried about notifications due to larger group limits please remember you can turn off group notifications. I think the larger group limits will help everyone whether they are business owners, consumers, or just someone making a group for hangout purposes. The current group limits don't allow us to scratch even the tip of the iceberg when it comes to supporting and connecting with others.

You can make a group in 2006 and in 2023 want to change the group name because of branding or changes to how the group functions. You don't want to just make a new group, because you would be gambling on the fact that people would follow you to that new group. Being able to pay a small fee $10.00 should be possible with a ticket. The fee would discourage this just being something done willy nilly, but could help a lot of group messes.

A Group owner or admin can post a notice in the group. They then can tag a box so that this group notice will not expire/disappear in 2 weeks. This will be helpful when you want an object or notecard or certain instructional messages to be available for a longer period. It would prevent me (and other group owners/officers) from having to repost certain things (and forgetting that i have to) I also see it in other groups where admins point to a notice with instructions or an object and then realize it is gone and they have to hurry to repost. It could be limited to a certain number to not strain servers but i think it would bring server load down. I am not that tech savvy so i hope i explained it well.

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.

allow group notice creator / group owner to delete sent notices. Sometimes it happens by accident that attachment were sent, or wrong info was accidentally given. Most brands experienced the error of accidentally sending a fatpack instead of a demo in the notices and it would be great to have the option to delete that.

Linden Groups and Support groups should not use up limited group slots

many times a founder can leave Second Life and the group can continue without them, but the history of that founder can create confusion in the following decades. If you have an owner title and are the only one or a ticket can be submitted with all owners agreeing and a small token fee charged like $10.00 then this could clean up a lot of things and stop the need for opening new groups for the same people.

IMAGE: Currently to add an image to a notice you either drag and drop the image, include a notecard with the image or link to an outside resource for the image. It would help the ease of use if attaching an image by either drag and drop of an in world texture, uuid or an upload directly in the notice like 'IMAGE" uses was possible. This would then allow the notice sender to still include a further information notecard, or landmark only to the attachment area of the notice, but an image could be seen by hovering over the notice itself (just like 'image' works with inventory folders/objects). A lot of people do not like being made to look outside of SL for images of the content they may be interested in, or having to log into/join other resources to see them. Hovering over a notice would also allow for an instant decision on if you want to proceed to go to the location that the notice is promoting etc. SLURL/Landmark: Being able to also add a SLURL/Landmark into a separate section in the notice means that again pasting a slurl directly to the item in question is possible, without creating its own landmark. It could be then clicked on to directly TP or save to inventory and a landmark is created. The attachment section could then be kept exclusively for proper information notecards if needed, or demos, group gifts etc that are being sent out.

There has been an increase in the number of inworld chat groups that utilise a bot account to relay chat from the group to a channel on a discord server and vice versa. Used well this engages people who are not inworld in the community discussions and allows increased participation. However, this means that your chat is being sent out of SL to a remote server. There is no opt-in for this, if a group decides to do it they might send a notice (which will banish in 14 days), they might update the group covenant (for which there is no notification of change), or they might do nothing at all. you are then happily chatting to the 5 or 6 people in the group in SL, when suddenly a person who is not online and who may not even be in the group membership list, starts to participate. I would like to see the ability for the group owners/admins to set a persistent flag on the group that indicates that a relay is/may be used. This is akin to the "This meeting is being recorded" notification in zoom or teams and is almost certainly a legal requirement under either GDPR or the DSA. It would allow people to see immediately that their chat is not as private as they thought and make an informed choice about their data. An example of such a bot being made very legitimate and positive use of is in the Builders Brewery group. Assuming canny supports markdown images (attached as well just in case)! Notably there is nothing in the covenant or elsewhere to tell you that the group is relayed. What I would like is to be able to see something like this... This could simply be a property on the group that implied that recording might be used. It only needs to make people aware that they should ask more questions about their data. It could, of course, be a more dynamic notifier that turns on when an identified account UUID is active in the group. If we're adding new properties to chat groups...see also my forthcoming Canny entitled "Persistent topics for group chats please"
