Removing inactive groups
What should be done?
How can we prevent this after these groups have been deleted?

Content: In light of this, if we were to do something like this, it would probably be a good idea to: Act on groups that have been with 0 members after x time, instead of instantly
Change the group’s name to something random (e.g. 12014082305892346) like ROBLOX does for content deletions to free up the name but not the funds/assets

When a user creates a place & then said user’s account is deleted, the place owner doesn’t change. I don’t think any different should happen with group places. I see what you’re saying about groups funds also. Maybe ROBLOX could payout all the funds to the last member to leave the group if the funds are not already taken. Those two points you’ve made are also very interesting and something to consider. EchoReaper May 26, 2017, 5:14pm #5

When a current leader hands off a group to their successor, both of them are going to want the new owner to have the existing places. Group places persisting through ownership changes is correct behavior – the only case it’s undesirable is the edge case of claiming a dead group.
