This would be such an amazing feature & one that has been needed for a very long time! :)

Suggestions to Improve Second Life Groups

I'd like to propose a few improvements to the Second Life group system, especially from the perspective of long-time users, store owners, and event organizers who rely on groups as essential tools for communication and branding.

Targeted Notices by Role

Groups often have various roles such as designers, bloggers, or customers. It would be highly beneficial if owners or officers could choose which specific roles a notice is sent to. This would allow for more personalized and relevant communication within the group, improving both organization and user experience.

Activity Log for Group Membership

Currently, tracking who joins or leaves a group requires exporting and comparing CSV files manually. Implementing an internal activity log (entries, exits, role changes, etc.) would streamline group management and provide better oversight without the need for external tools.

Option to Delete Notices

Sometimes, mistakes happen—such as sending the wrong item or notice to a group. As a store owner, I once accidentally sent a full fatpack instead of a demo. Unfortunately, there's no way to delete a notice once it's sent. A delete function would allow group managers to correct errors quickly and maintain professionalism.

Founder Status Review – Clear Ownership Transfer

When a group is created, the creator is permanently listed as the “Founder,” even if they leave the group or hand it over to someone else. It would be more accurate and useful to rethink this model. For example, instead of always displaying “Founded by [Name],” the group could show “Owned by [Name]” to reflect current, active ownership.

This idea could work similarly to how transferable items function in Second Life. Imagine ownership like a no-copy, transferable item: once it's given to someone else, only that person holds true possession—even if other members have “Owner” roles. This would provide a clearer understanding of who is actually responsible for managing the group.

Increase the Number of Roles

Currently, the limit of 10 roles can be restrictive for more complex group structures. Increasing this limit to 15 would allow for more flexibility in organizing members and assigning responsibilities, especially when combined with the improvements suggested above.

Happy to see this is now planned.

I have been wondering this very same thing. Recently I created a new group and sent notices for a month asking people to move over to it. On the final day when I closed the group down, I had a slue of people messaging me asking me why they were kicked.

I sent notices weekly, even on the day of, sent notecards to all group members, invited all group members by UUID to the new group and yet people thought they had done something wrong.

I look forward to the day when we can change group names.

Premium Plus members should not have to pay for this renaming service.

I would even be happy with a "display name" concept for groups. I named my store group in 2009 and the concept of my store has morphed over the years. (I originally made gowns. Now more latex and club wear.) My original store name included the word "couture" which I have dropped. I'm not going to try to move over 12,000 group members to a new group so I'm stuck with the old store/group name. I would pay a small fee for this. Small like $5-$10. (If it was $40 I wouldnt do it.)

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.
