Closed Groups
From Freegle Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
It's possible to close a group to posting. Currently this is aimed at COVID-19 restrictions.
You can do this from ModTools->Settings->Community Settings->Features for Members->Closed for COVID
When a group is closed, the following are disabled:
- Posting to the group
- Replying to posts on the group
- What's New or individual post emails
- "Chase up" emails asking what happened to posts
- Emails about nearby posts
- Volunteer Opportunity digest emails
- Community Event digest emails
- Tweets about events, volunteer opportunities and posts
Will update here about TN after discussions with Andrew
On the site, people will see a message like this in various places:
The following are still active:
- ADMINs.
- Joining/leaving groups.
- Chat between members, including email notifications.
- ChitChat, including emails to members of nearby chitchat posts.
- ModMails to members.
- Auto-reposts. The posts will get "bumped" as normal, but people won't be able to reply to them and they won't get emailed out. This avoids a flood of posts when the group re-opens.
