Extreme thanks and appreciation for those who voted and provided feedback through last week's poll to help provide guidance for the Group area at BrokerAgentSocial.com

As a result of Member feedback, a bit of common sense, and our desire to foster the best quality community for Members possible.... 64 Groups have been reomved - Yesterday there were 239 Groups. As of this post there are 175.

Those which were removed are not likely to be missed by anyone, but we're hopeful having removed them will result in a better experience for a vast majority of Members now and in the future.

If you haven't visited the Group area lately, we hope you will give it a look. There are several fantastic people waiting to connect with you.... As well as a new opportunity for you to create new groups in a much less cluttered environment.

To create a Group, while logged in simply use the drop down area on the "My Apps" icon on
the top menu bar and select "Groups" to get started.

Here are the three primary things you should know when considering creating a Group at BrokerAgentSocial.com moving forward:

Self Promotion
Groups created out of primary motive for self-promotion do not serve the greater good of the Community. Not allowing these types of Groups makes it easier for the vast majority of Members to better experience BrokerAgentSocial.com. If you are interested in advertising through Broker Agent please contact us.

Lack of Activity
If a Group hasn't had activity for more than 30 days, it's likely not serving any purpose for its creator or Members. These Groups will be reviewed on an individual basis moving forward and a request to the group creator to re-move, combine, or re-position (with our help if needed) the Group will be requested before removal.

Referral Groups
Our staff has spent tireless hours reviewing and approving candidates to endorse for the 30% Referral Directory. Those endorsed also financially support BrokerAgentSocial.com - In fairness to them, groups whose primary purpose is to create a referral base are not permitted.

While a few may not be pleased with these changes, we're hopefull that most will.

As we continue to work towards creating a more focused, streamlined, and meaningful community for you please consider lending a hand by taking a moment to vote on our newest pole concerning Blog policy here:
