I dont see it as a stupid feature. I more or less see it as something that was overlooked when they first released groups and what problems are there?
I think most people who are really serious about groups understand that you dont INTEND to name it something that you dont like. Most of the time you have to go along with another variation or completely different name. Couple weeks later that specific name becomes available. Oh look you've spent about 500Rs on setting up your new groups, and you can't rename it. Its expensive for owners, quite annoying, and time consuming.
But the major issue is that its hard to move established groups over to new groups, even when they are identical to each other; its detrimental to the group, as generally the new group only ends up having a fraction of members it use to have and then you have to go to great lengths to explain to everyone why it was moved, defend your decision as well as convice others to move, when they finnaly log on. Its easier to just add a rename feature.
Its a demanded feature, and was apparently listed on the Blog that it was suppose to be added. I'm wondering where it is..
