However, most lounges are used for offtopic discussions, which aren't relevant in the slightest. It's the same type of spam we delete outside of group forums.

If group owners are not able to moderate their sections, I will put rules in place. Simple as that.

I completely understand that. I just think regarding Groups like Vixen. I don't think the other groups will suffer if they just change there lounge a, for example, Anime Discussion Thread or Manga Discussion Thread only talking about these things in the group but I don't understand how a group such as Vixen would have any activity granted it has more than one general something to talk about such as games and anime along with culture. It makes it insanely hard for newer groups as well.

I don't think that leaders have the power to remove posts sure they can warn them via implementing a group warning system or something along the lines I just find it a bizarre way to make it, so the spam stops.

Lounges are a massive part of groups to some people a group is a place to spend time having conversations with your friends while it's true that I think more time needs to be spent on talking on the group's niche and subjects I don't think removing the lounges is the right way to go about it. The activity of groups will diminish considerably.

It's near impossible for a group leader to moderate every single post in a lounge and I don't think its right to kick someone on their first offense either.
