Hello, I’m here today to suggest a new feature. Well, new to me, anyway—I’m not completely familiar with Discourse, so if it’s not new, please let me know. I’m familiar with the components that encourage people to register on a Discourse site for certain categories or under certain conditions. I wanted to suggest a similar component, but based on a different condition, which is this: a setting would be configured by the administrator, for example, topics less than three days or less than four days old, would not be visible to unregistered users. There would be a message encouraging them to register. What do you think of this, if it doesn’t already exist, of course?
