@scottalanmiller How unfortunate!

In a nutshell, perhaps something like this?

Would be a plugin. Further details in email.

What kind of plugin?

@dibu Right now only administrators can create groups, once created they can add users to those groups and set permissions from the control panel.

Are there any plans to add this kind of feature? Is it a lot of work?
For example after user get some level of reputation he can create his own groups and invite other users to take part. But Admin also can delete all post/user/groups as needed.
This can help to build some kind of self-organized community on top of NodeBB.

@julian said:

such a use case would be something we'd work closely together on. Please get in touch with me at [email protected] and we can talk specifics over email or G+ Hangouts.

I'm also looking for a solution as in the first part of this topic. But I need some thing like self-organized groups. Where user can create his own group and add user to his own group and give rights to write topics and posts? Some kind of self-organized community.

@julian can I also get in touch with you at [email protected] or G+ Hangouts if in need?

I could possibly add every sub-community as a group on NodeBB. Is it currently possible to restrict visibility of certain forums to certain user groups in NodeBB? Would that be a reasonable use of groups in NodeBB?

This is already possible using the groups and permissions system, it is exactly what it was designed for.

Is it available in version 0.4 or in the latest commits on github? How can I add users to groups? Are there any docs for groups?
Can user create his own group and add user to his own group and give them rights to write to the group or read-only?

@julian said:

Here are some, but keep in mind we're in the process of completely revamping the admin panel

Is it a screenshot of admin panel for this forum?

As you know, we use socket.io to power our real-time aspect.

I have a couple of questions:

• Is upgrade to socket.io 1.0 planned?
• There are other alternatives to socket.io like sockjs, primus, faye is socket.io better?
• Is it possible to scale socket.io (multiple thread, servers) used in NodeBB? (Can you share your experience?) In some posts you mentioned that this forum was running on the server with 512Mb of RAM. What was the peak or average amount of simultaneous socket.io connection using this amount of RAM?
