Need more options for more privacy, such as making the member list hidden and not showing up on peoples profiles.

Discuss and suggest more ways private groups could be more private.

Who the hell do you think I am?

The only thing I can think of to make them more private is to hide them entirely.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

There should be more ways to make groups more exclusive and harder for people to join so the groups can be more L33T.

I think a middle ground would be nice. Maybe we want people to know the group exists (so we don't want it hidden from our profiles), but we want those people to know they can't get in (so not a regular group homepage). I suggest a giant middle finger pops up whenever someone uninvited goes to any of the group's pages. This means we'll need a formal invitation system as well.

  • 05.19.2012 6:34 PM PDT

Make them inaccessible to everyone. That sounds reasonable enough.

  • 05.19.2012 6:34 PM PDT

Terrible idea.

Just make it so if someone tries to join the queue it rejects them and plays a laugh track.

@spaboolly

I think private groups are too private as it is.

I also think the current group privacy options/settings are pretty comprehensive.

Because certain groups are tarred with certain preconceptions. I don't wish to be treated differently as a result of my associations unless I choose to make those associations known.

There'd be those kinds of people suspicious of a B.net Illuminati...


I'd be ok with more privacy options, being able to toggle the openness of the memberlist, group listings and such would be a nice feature if a group really wanted to be secretive. The option to have an open group where non-members could read posts would also be good to have, the lurker sees a topic of interest, they're more likely to join in.

That's fair enough.

But I still don't think it should change.

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

Why does it matter if people can see who is in a group?

Canada isn't that important that it needs two of the same threads on page one.

Private groups will never get the update they need in your lifetime.

If you are part of a group that causes you to not like the way people treat you, then you need to reconsider your membership in the group.

Alternatively, give me the means to hide membership of groups that people may hold against me, just as I don't parade around membership of this site in the outside world, whilst others do. I'm not leaving say, Mythix because stupid folk think we're all children obsessed with our blue bars, and I don't see why I should have to choose-keeping in mind that for many in this situation, they can and do choose their smaller community that they enjoy more.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

I actually wonder how many groups out there are dedicated to illegal activities or groups that are not but have illegal activities within them. I guess I sort of view private groups as the back alleys of Bungie.net.

Nonetheless I would still like to see the privacy features upgraded and support this idea.

In the big scheme of things, does it really matter? No it does not.

Hiding is the result of three things. One, being that you are afraid. Two, being that you are doing something wrong. The third is a result of doing something wrong and being afraid.

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

Because it's impossible that people have a misconception of a group and its inhabitants? Also, there are times when you want to join a group just for observation, or for a different reason other than the assumed.

I need to be able to keep things hidden from the Voyeur. I support this idea.

Yeah I agree. There needs to be an option for hidden members lists and hidden group founder.
There should also be the option to hide groups from a group name search. They should only be visible if invited.

That is silly, we are not suggesting that this information be hidden from mods. Just other members. Some times a private group needs to be harder to find and harder to reach for exclusivity and other purposes.

They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools! — they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace
