On a lot of other forums, it’s common for a user to claim being a part of a particular group. This is more in the sense of being a part of a particular clan or club, not necessarily for an administrating visibility permissions.
Is there any way to go about accomplishing this on Discourse? I’ve been trying to accomplish it with either the Group feature or Badge feature, but both don’t really seem suited for this.
For instance, it would be nice if you could add custom fields to groups, similar to how you can for User Profiles. Might be useful to be able to add a description to a group, or even an image field for logos.
Also, I don’t see any way for a user to request to become part of a group. I do see that I can go in as an Admin and manually determine who should be part of which groups, but I don’t think that would scale very well.
