Your permission settings for social groups and blogs

[80sDude]

What kind of permissions do you have implemented for groups and blogs on your forums? Do you allow members to create a certain amount of groups and blogs? Do you use those features for special member groups? etc etc etc

I used to use phpBB back in the day and switched to Xenforo when their development pace slowed to a crawl and Xenforo's been a huge improvement in almost every way but one: In phpBB, there's a user-facing groups management page where users can add themselves to user groups (e.g. allowing people an option to join a politics group to see a hidden political discussion forum). I wish Xenforo had that. Is that what you mean?

Xenforo doesn't have social groups of blogs. You have to install plugins.

I know. My question was intended for those that have those add ons.

I use Bob's UBS blog addon, and I allow free members to create one blog. Paid accounts (none atm) can create 3 at the lower tiers, and 5 at the higher tiers.

I can't think of one natively, but Dragonbyte's credits/shop addons may allow you to do so.

Basically how many blog/group your user groups are allowed to create. How many attachments etc...
