I think it would be beneficial if User Group leaders had more control/customisation over their User Group. This could take many forms, but some ideas I have include:
1) Only owners or approved members can create a new "Topic". All members should be able to reply to a post, but to help maintain a streamlined and clean appearance on the group's landing page, I think the creation of new topics could be a configurable restriction.
2) I like the options of Open, Closed and Hidden group types; however, more customisation here would be great. Could we allow anyone to view the User Group, but only members to reply?
3) Create dedicated subsections. I can see there is a contents section on the user group home page but the only options are "Forums" and "Event". Can we create our own custom subsections?
I don't believe the above list is perfect by any means but I do believe there could be a lot of value in allowing User Group leaders to create a more custom space, tailored to both their style their members.
