What are MQG Connections: Communities, Networks, and Connections/Contacts
- Communities: Like Facebook Groups—some are private, some are open. Anyone can create a community within the MQG website’s Community section. Members are automatically added to some communities based on their guild affiliations and networks.
- Networks: Groups of members with something in common, such as location, guild, or leadership role. The Networks page under your profile shows which networks you are connected to.
- Connections/Contacts: Similar to friend requests. When someone sends a connection request through MQG Communities, you’ll receive an email to approve it. Connections are direct and independent of networks and communities.

Note: LBMQG Guild leaders do not have access to any member's email notification settings on the MQG website.
LBMQG Community on MQG
The LBMQG Community group on the MQG platform is a private, self-moderated space just for our guild. Think of it like a Facebook group—but without ads or tracking. This is where members can independently:
- Post questions
- Start discussions
- Share ideas and projects
- Create polls
- Access a community library, blog, and events section
We’re just beginning to explore how this powerful tool can support our communications and connections.
LBMQG board members can also use this space to email the entire membership directly—without a gatekeeper.
Note: While LBMQG manages our group’s roster with MQG which will automatically add members to our private community, members handle their own profiles and MQG communication preferences directly with the MQG.
If you have opted out of receiving notifications for our community through your MQG preference settings, you may miss out. Guild leaders do not have access to these settings.
We encourage everyone to stay connected and make the most of this community space.
