In my opinion a group should be place for people with the same interest to share information and resources.

However I see a lot of groups with 1 person and 1 discussion: the pasted copy of some program.

I do not mind postings of programs in a group if it is related to the topic of the group; fe. in a traffic group you could post a comment about a specific TE stating why you like it.

I would not mind if there where more strict rules about starting a group. Or that there would be a commission to approve or disapprove a group.

There are many "posts" in groups that are nothing more than an affiliate link. without even a short description where the program/service is about. Increasing the number of characters a post must contain should be increased to at least 500. 

The maximum should be expanded a lot. There are some groups with members trying to post articles in a group with some substance but have to post it in parts.

My solution now is just to post an article outside a group and than post an introduction to the post in that group.
