Faction-private categories

Given Niantic can accurately determine the faction of a logged-in account, it may be useful to have forum sections private to users of a single faction.

Obviously this is (relatively) easily thwarted by bad actors registering a second account in the opposite faction, but the same applies to COMM.

  • @Zenn I'm hoping that's what will happen as well.

    The original idea would work if a poster could also set a minimum forum level for viewing and posting. It would take a lot more effort to get in wrongly at that point.

    Also, I don't think anyone would be delusional enough to think that this would be absolutely secure (or even "highly secure"), but it would still be useful for discussions which only have to do with one side.

  • @Zenn that would be nice. sub-communities where different groups could set up their "home" They could be open ones (XF events etc) as well as closed (faction intern, by invitation only)

    On the other hand - this forum is not yet a week old... let's see what is coming :)

    I don't know if this is necessary. There are some faction specific communities that are already growing where there is some vetting that takes place.
