GoSocial (Facebook/Linkedin)
Creating groups live
Groups allow you to share posts and content amongst a specific group of people. It reproduces an online ecosystem based on private discussion groups managed by specific players or role-players. To create a new Facebook group live during the exercise follow the steps below.
1. Create new group
First ensure you have the "Create Facebook group" special permission assigned. Then, in the GoSocial side panel there will be a button stating '+create new group'
2. Customise the group
Customise your group details to create a more realistic group. Here, you can give your group a name, description and cover image.
3. View the group
The new group will appear on the left column, click on the name to access it
Further available actions for those assigned the "Create Facebook group" special permission:
Edit the group name, description, and cover image.
Delete groups leading to all discussions becoming inaccessible.
Group creators can:
accept / reject members
remove members
make / revoke moderators
add members as friends
Groups: Player actions
Players can only find a group if they search for it in the GoSocial channel search bar
Once players have searched for and found a group they can join by clicking 'join group'. Initially it will appear as a pending request until the group creator or moderator accepts the request.
Once players have been accepted into a group they can:
post text and images
like and comment on posts
If the group creator has made a player a moderator, moderators have the ability to accept or reject new members.
Available player actions
Players can interact with this channel just as they would in real life, this includes posting, engaging (commenting, liking, sharing), and deleting content.
In the GoSocial channel you will see a box at the top that allows you to create a new post. Here you have the option to include an image and text.
Below each post you have the option to comment, like and share the post.
Click on the three dot icon in any of your posts to delete them
