Glenn,
What I am wondering is if there an automated
way of handling this problem. For example, if a particular
hashtag, like #resolution or something was used, the thread would
be locked from the start. People could reply to the sender, but
not the group.
Donald's solution looks like the best approach for a case like this.
However, to do exactly what you want, you can create (or use a
previously created) a hashtag and edit it.
Editing the hashtag will have lots of options such as:
- Locked (any topic with this hashtag will be immediately locked)
- Moderated (any reply to this topic will need to be aproved by a
mod or an owner)
- Topic duration (you will be able to set a period for topics with
this hashtag and, after this period, decide whether they will be
locked or deleted)
...
Nonetheless, based on what you said,
People could reply to the sender, but not
the group.?
I'd think the more desired option in this case is the "Reply to".
With this option, any reply to any topic using this hashtag can be
sent to the sender, to the moderator, both to the sender and to
the group (...) depending on your choice.
Hope this helps :)
