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.
