@Devour but I know those users, I trust them. Also, I am not saying I have been here for a long time nor talking like one, I have seen posts similar to mine when it comes to groups.
I am done arguing, do not want to make enemies.
I feel the point Devour needs to be stressed. You don't know the users, you vouched for sector, and I asked if you even knew him and he said there was no prior contact between you two. Then yesterday, you vouch for somebody, and the question arises again, and the outcome was the OP did not know you, at all. How can you grow trust for a user you've never talked to, there used to be a rule ( I don't know if it's implemented anymore ) where when somebody false vouched on a vouch thread, they would suffer the penalty of a 3 month ban. You should think about what you post before you post it, actually make a post with thought put behind it.
Onto the topic of usergroups, most ' new members ' of course want to join a group, they've never had that experience and to be in one would be awesome to them. What group leader's should want to see is high quality, but the definition of high quality changes depending on the person, whether it be high quality posts, multiple sales / purchases of items etc.... Groups, as well as upgrades, are not something that should just be thrown at you without any effort, but instead should take time and be seen as a way to improve yourself and how you act around the other members of the forum.
On the topic of the thread : I'd like to see you actually hang onto the group, I haven't seen a group stay with an owner in a while.
