The MM Groups feature is a fantastic way to find others on the site with interests similar to yourself.  You can search for and join an existing group or create your own.

There are 3 types of Groups on Microminimus

  1. Fan Groups
    Groups for Members to appreciate a particular Contributor.

  2. Location Groups 
    Groups for people from a particular location – great to meet people near you, or in a place you’re planning to visit. 

  3. Interest Groups
    Groups for any shared interest you can think of that would bring members together.
     

Public Groups: All MM Members can join the group and contribute to the discussion.

Private Groups: All MM Members must request to be part of the group, it is the role of the group admins to accept/reject group requests.

GROUP PARTICIPATION

Within a Group you can type messages for other members of your group to read.

You may like to share a link to your favorite galleries for discussion or communicate with other members within the group.

Please be mindful of the context of your group and do not post images from MM Galleries in that you don't have permission from the Contributor to do so.

GROUP NOTIFICATIONS

Group Members have the choice to receive notifications of activity within the group. If you do not want to receive notifications of group activity you can edit your notification settings in your Profile dashboard.

 

GROUP RULES

Members must abide by the Community Guidelines at all times and refrain from writing/posting anything that would cause offense to other Members.

Posting links to off-site galleries, dropboxes, wishlists, or anything that would not be suitable to post within the Microminimus Community is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Moderators periodically scan Group Activity and will suspend Groups, Group Admins or Members taking part in such activity.

 

FLAGS & BLOCKING

MM Members can flag any comment or reply they find inappropriate. 
A Moderator will review the comment to determine if it falls outside the Community Guidelines, at which time the appropriate action will be taken.

MM Members may also choose to block another member they find offensive. This will remove any ability for that member to interact with you.

Members who are repeatedly Flagged or Blocked will have their entire account reviewed by MM Moderators. 
Offenders may receive a warning, suspension or termination depending on the outcome of the investigation.
