Example? I can spam a group and get away with it if I wanted to-would that not be a violation of the ToU? I can also put multiple accounts in a group, isnt that a violation? But I may still get away with it.
Groups are allowed to accept anyone they want or decline anyone they want. So you could already possibly have groups like this.
Groups are pretty much free already to do what they want, well what I mean is that you cant force a group to only talk about 1 topic, or something like that. I know this feature probably would not be implemented, but it's not necessarily a bad thing because the vast majority of the people would not be exposed.
"Getting away with it" doesn't mean it's allowed. Most users actually comply with the rules. No, spamming is not explicitly against the Terms of Use, but several other things are (some of which might encompass certain kinds of "spamming"), including the following:
You may not:
* Defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others
* Publish, post, upload, distribute or disseminate any inappropriate, profane, defamatory, infringing, obscene, indecent or unlawful topic, name, material or information.
Allowing people to upload their own pictures to the groups - which, admittedly, are mostly unregulated - would risk violations of both of these terms of use. Prevention is better than correction.
