Unmaintained Social Groups (XenForo 2.x.x) 4.0.3

I usually avoid writing negative reviews, but this one definitely deserves an honest review. I cannot recommend this addon at all—not because of its lack of functionality, but due to the lack support and disorganization. The developer seems to have prioritized cramming in as many features as possible, without bothering to conduct proper QA. The addon is riddled with typos and grammatically incorrect phrases.

If you’re in the market for a reliable social groups addon with excellent support, I highly recommend Dragonbytes addon instead, as he’s also well known for his quality code:

As a product manager, I’m seriously baffled by this addon’s poor organization. The menus are excessively long, requiring you to scroll, buttons are scattered everywhere, and the settings are a real mess.

I’ve submitted more than three support tickets without any response and even tagged the developer in other users’ requests. The support and UX are truly terrible.

While the concept fits the high demand for a groups or club add-on - like IPS is offering as an oficial add-on -, unfortunal the developer fails to follow the Xenforo coding standards. Wether in the XF1 nor in the current XF2 versions this add-on is free of severe privacy issues, exposing everyone running this add-on in the EU to the risk, to get fined for breaking the GDPR with a penalty of thousands of EUR while becoming object of a legal case. With that being said, while those bugs haven´t been addressed in the XF1 versions up to this date, the corresponding bugs regarding the XF2 versions reported to the developer in his forums (https://nobita.me/forums/issues.92/?prefix_id=24) haven´t been resolved, yet, and until this day the developer shows no efforts to address them in the future. While I acknowledge the add-on concept, since the add-on fails to addhere to the Xenforo coding standards and severe privacy issues have been discovered, reported and not being resolved, I can´t give a better rating and even would have to rate it with a minus star, if available.
