Group Collecting

To prevent group collection and limit the power of any individual, we restrict the number of groups one person can own to twenty groups.

This guideline is not retroactive. If you notice a member owning more than twenty groups, it's most likely because they owned them before this rule went into effect.

What is in violation of this guideline?

• Owning more than 20 groups.

Note: Even if someone has more than one profile, they can only own up to twenty groups amongst all of their profiles.

What is not in violation of this guideline?

• Leading and/or moderating more than 20 groups (i.e. not owning)

What happens if someone violates this guideline?

Profiles created for the sole purpose of collecting groups are removed from FetLife to give them the opportunity for others to become more active in their communities.

Potential group collector profiles are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
