Other than CSS, and other than a theme component, is there a built in way to remove the default moderator group from the about page? I just figure out that if you add @moderators to the list of groups to hide from the moderators section of the about page, the whole section disappears. It this the …

[immagine] one1: I’m doing this because we have to grant staff access to some managers and we don’t want them listed in the moderators section. A simple way to achieve this is to make them TL4 - this grants them many ‘staff’ priviledges without them actually being in the moderator group.

[immagine] nathank: A simple way to achieve this Totally not. They need access to staff discussions and (sometimes) review queue. So the TL4 extra privileges (which aren’t that many) won’t help. I wish it did. We could really use a third staff type, but I imagine that would be a nightmare to…

Fair enough. So you do want to show the moderators group, but don’t want to show those individuals who are members of it. Got it. Easy. Add them to the moderators group Also make a group of just the managers (probably only visible to admins) Add this group to about_page_hidden_groups (via yoursi…

[immagine] nathank: Add them to the moderators group Also make a group of just the managers (probably only visible to admins) Add this group to about_page_hidden_groups (via yoursiteurl.com/admin/site_settings/category/all_results?filter=about%20page%20hidden%20groups ) Viola! I’m confused - …

You might be thinking about the about_page_extra_groups setting which would indeed do that. The setting above suppresses the users in that group from appearing in the other groups on the /about page. They will of course appear on the moderators group page, just not the /about page. I remember this…

[immagine] nathank: The setting above suppresses the users in that group from appearing in the other groups on the /about page. Ah. That’s it. I assumed it hid the managers group, but they can still be seen. My bad!

The managers is just one example of our problem; sorry I didn’t spell it out. We also have two users who are basically founders and are still involved in staff things so they need access. I have created a founders group for them and have added that group to the “hide” listing. The more difficult i…

[immagine] NateDhaliwal: I assumed it hid the managers group, but they can still be seen. My bad! No, the setting is poorly named. It says hide from about page, but it should actually be called “hide from moderators list on the about page.”

[immagine] one1: That means that there is no (forum software) group for these trainees. Therefore they can’t be excluded as a group. You could use the well written and quite stable Discourse Dynamic Groups Plugin to dynamically populate a group of ‘not-active’ moderators - and hide this group…

Ooh. It’s true that we are rarely the first person in the world to have a problem. It looks like it isn’t even a year old, though. But sounds like you have reason to trust it. I’ll take a look. Thanks!
