For inclusion on the Create A Group page, I would love your feedback on the below Group Guidelines. Goal is to make sure people don't create nonsensical Groups, and that they understand that there is more to Group Ownership than "build it and they will come".

Looking forward to your thoughts!

eHarmony Advice Group Guidelines

Groups on eHarmony Advice must meet follow these Guidelines:

1. It should not have the same title as an existing Group. Please do a search first to prevent duplications.
2. The Group should not be based around a single question which would be better suited as a topic in a forum. Example: “Men how do you deal with hair loss?” is not a Group, it’s a topic.
“Men Aging Gracefully” could be a Group which would discuss that and other topics.
3. Please upload a photo which is clearly representative of the Group’s topic (ideally not a photo of yourself) and fill out the description for your Group as completely as possible.
This will make it more enticing to other Members and will also allow us to consider Featuring your Group, which will help it grow.
4. Any Groups created solely to promote a business or a person will be removed.
5. eHarmony reserves the right to remove a Group or change its ownership as required for the benefit of the Group and the eHarmony Advice Community.

Please keep in mind that Group Ownership carries some responsibility. Merely creating the Group does not ensure a successful Group - you must actively post topics to your Group and seek out opportunities on the main boards to inform other Community Members of your Group. For more information and tips on growing and running a successful Group, please visit and join Groupies: A Group For Group Owners.

Would my groups constantly changing photo and description be representative of the humor? Or my clear psychological instability?

I guess that isn't what you asked for... I like the guidelines. I would further suggest that you delay the actual creation of the group until you can review it.

Unfortunately this is not the way the software works. That being said, we could likely modify it but my concern is that I would then become a bottleneck to Group activity.

Do you think that a delay in the ability to use a Group you created would result in a waning of interest in that Group? I supposed it would depend on how long folks had to wait....assume up to 24 hours.

Thoughts?

Anyone else have feedback on the Group Guidelines?

I don't know that it would have to be a time delay... just subject to official review. Similar to modded posts.

Incidently, this may be a crazy idea, no, it is a crazy idea... That's usually the only type of idea I ever have...

It would be a neat gadget... Picture this for groups only: A little button under the group picture that plays the group theme song! It could be maybe a link to one of the group videos... even... maybe... but only accessed by the owner?

Would adding something like "creating a group and then not posting in it by ____days might constitute eha deleting that group help?

Would mentioning his help-Groups must have more than ____ members by_____) ?

Or is that too strict and restrictive?
