Hey everyone, I wanted to bring up a suggestion that I believe could greatly enhance our communication within the Skool community platform. Currently, our primary means of communication is through posts and comments. While this is great for official announcements and posts, I believe there's a need for a more casual and interactive space where we can have real-time conversations. This is why I would like to propose the idea of adding a group chat feature to the platform. Here's why I think a group chat feature could be beneficial: 1. Real-Time Interaction: A group chat would allow us to engage in real-time conversations without the need to constantly refresh the page or wait for replies on posts. 2. Casual Discussions: Sometimes, we might want to have more relaxed discussions or ask quick questions that don't necessarily warrant a full post. A group chat would provide the perfect space for these conversations. 3. Easy Collaboration: Group projects or study groups could greatly benefit from a dedicated chat space. It would streamline communication and make it easier to coordinate tasks. 4. Privacy and Control: With a group chat feature, we could create chats with specific people and have the control to add or remove participants as needed. This would provide a more personalized and manageable communication experience. 5. Reducing Intimidation: Not everyone might feel comfortable sharing their thoughts or questions in a public post. A group chat would create a more casual, private and approachable environment. I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks about this idea. If you believe, like I do, that a group chat feature could add value to our platform, please comment down below!

(All constructive criticism, Skool is a good platform/tool, but really needs these basic features) Let me and Sam know in the comments which features you'd want most and if I've missed anything. Different Paid Tiers Inside 1 Group: Really not sure why this isn't already a feature since we can lock courses behind a pointswall, we should be able to lock them behind a paywall. We should be able to, for example, have a free tier, a mid level paid tier, and a high level paid tier where we can lock certain courses, categories, and even calendar events behind. Instead you have to make multiple separate groups, as in the case of Hamza's "Adonis Gang" and "Adonis School" where he puts all the headings of the Adonis School courses in Adonis Gang, but has to just say "You need an Adonis School membership for this." and then put a link to his paid group. When I first got on Skool and browsed around groups, I instinctively thought this was already a feature when I clicked on courses like the one I mentioned above. This just creates more steps and broods less incentive to spend money on the Skool website. More Customizable Leaderboard: Let us change the way points are assigned if we so wish by having for example, Amount of Times Posted in a Certain Category, or by Amount of Times Posted in which the Post Includes a Certain Word/Phrase, or like I've seen in other posts, allow us to assign points to a member, so that your score isn't just limited to how much time you spent scrolling and liking on Skool, but we could reward for doing certain real world tasks, meeting goals, or participating in group calls. (PS. This really needs to be changed. As I look around more through different groups, specifically many self-improvement groups, i see a lot of the same faces on the top of the leaderboard. I know we want people to spend money on Groups and interact with Skool, but we don't want people spending all their time commenting and liking to chase virtual points with no meaning instead of actually going out into the real world and implementing what they've learned in these groups)
