Closed Groups

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.
