* NEVER give anyone the power to alter group settings.
Once again, I'm confused on how a group can get "destroyed" because of this ability.
It can't. However, it can cause a lot of aggravation. People can change your theme, and mess with your home page. Also, they can switch it to "open" membership. That way, any of their spamming and/or conquering friends can traipse on in as they please.
Pretty much any privilege can get abused in a group, though. If someone has the ability to create resources, they can create inappropriate, or a bunch of spammy resources. If someone has the ability to edit resources, they can delete them, or put misleading information. If someone can pin threads, they can pin a bunch of worthless, old threads. If someone has the ability to temp. blacklist people, they can blacklist the majority of the people posting. Okay, I can keep going on with this, so I'll stop right there.
What I'm trying to say is that this whole thing can be summarized just by saying "Don't give promotions to people you don't trust." Simple as that.
