We could always just allow groups with the same name…

I know you where probably meaning that in a sarcastic way, but just to clarify this is not a good idea. The immediate problem with this is groups copying other groups and leaching off of other group’s fame that someone probably put a lot of hard work into. It will also be confusing because there will probably end up being a ton of copy spammed groups and it could end up looking like the current catalog. 2 Likes

I disagree. People already manage to copy group names almost exactly, if not exactly. If you search any group name you’re sure to find tons of other groups that you couldn’t tell the difference apart. I was searching for a group earlier, I put its exact name in the search, and it was 4th in the results. We really have nothing to lose by allowing groups with the same name, other than the “allies/enemies” system needing a new method of identifying groups. 1 Like

While when I first saw your post my immediate thoughts were what Endorsed said,
You’re right. People copy group names by using a million brackets or some invisible icons.
