Minds Groups Overhaul Project - Proposed Changes and Bug Fixes
Establish a proper group hierarchy consisted of four levels, with the following capabilities
Member: Current member capabilities with the addition of an indicator of membership Moderator: Delete posts, ban users temporarily
Admin: All of the powers of Moderator, plus the ability to create Moderators and remove all of a member’s posts with a click
Owner: All of the powers of the previous three with the added ability to create Admins take the group offline and/or cut group. Only the creator of the group is owner.
(Transfer of said ownership is a matter for future discussion)

TOP verses TRENDING:
Suggested new formula for listing groups at the top as the recently implemented algorithm artificially inflates this figure by sign that it is TOP and not TRENDING a TOP = (Members x Posts) + Up-votes + Reminds + Comments + Views b TRENDING = (Joins x Posts) + Up-votes + Reminds + Comments + Views These should enable a viewing within a day/week/month period
