Private Group on ML

Ok so maybe a group based on posting is a bad idea, but how about an optional group to discuss topics such as clients, policies, and etc.
I do know that is what http://mangolassi.it/category/8/it-business was somewhat made for. Clients could still be dangerous even closed. anyone can screenshot.

Specifically regarding issues with a client, I'd probably direct message someone I trusted privately. I'd never post it on any kind of private forum. I'd keep it as 1 to 1 contact always.
Narrows the list of people who can talk to the client behind my back to 1.

From what I know, the idea behind ML is to keep it as open as possible. But some self moderation and consideration for others is expected.
I'm pretty sure that @Minion-Queen wants to keep ML as open as possible. With the idea that all can learn from what we have run into.

Yep. That was the whole goal I am pretty sure. It just makes people bitter otherwise.
-
@thecreativeone91 and @g.jacobse are right. We want to keep things very open here (as many have found out even the private groups aren't all that private).
If you would like to ask for help on a specific issue please feel free to reach out via Chat or even via email to me. I can help you connect with the right person from either my team or others on the community that have appropriate experience in that area.

It would be really cool is nodeBB had a group chat feature.

That actually would be really cool.

Looks like it's been requested: https://community.nodebb.org/topic/2330/group-chat/2

This whole thing is a group chat. We post so fast what's the difference

I'll try to look but there were some early threads on this. Keeping from having private groups was actually a day one goal. The private groups elsewhere have led to some pretty bad things. While they sound great at a high level, they introduce some serious problems. We are very lucky that we got a chance to watch some of the bad things that could happen. While it leaves us with some lack of features, it also protects against some things too.
It's not an indictment of sites that use it. When others introduced it I thought that it sounded great too. It's a nice idea. But how to make it really work in a healthy way for a community is something that we've never seen figured out.

Cool, that would be a great feature just for this type of occasion. Although that could get fairly clique-y.

I agree, that would be cool. @psychobunny

If we're requesting features how about a black hole section
Post on it, automatically deleted from the internet after ## minutes

So the Rants section?

@thecreativeone91 no, somewhere that I can rage against the universe, spelling mustakes, people I hate, things that piss me off. Then have it (possibly) read by someone and subsequently deleted forever after a time period. Disable usernames.

There is a twitter like app for that... anonymous posting, deletes the "tweet" in 7 minutes. Popular on college campuses.

Oh like those college campus "confession" and "crushes" things. I saw something about VT's before.

Yep, my sister (who is graduating next weekend) told me about it... can't for the life of me remember the name.

This should be a lesson in filtering what you post online in a public setting, not a reason to lock away certian parts of a site so you can post what you want. If you have a private question, use a private message. If you have a public question, change the names of people and businesses. If you want to rant and use real names, prepare for a valueable life lesson. This is about the only community on the internet I do post in reguallry, simply because the quality of the people, and information.

Just adding my 0.2c (GST not applicable)
No secret shower room please.
It will ALWAYS cause issues.
Perhaps if you need to rant, ask if you can send a rant to someone via chat?
If there are private things that need to be asked, then I think @Minion-Queen was spot on.

Having an open community without the secret shower room is one of the brilliance's of ML but like everything, it won't fit all situations.
