I’ve been trying to figure out how to allow users to create subforums , that would work like slack channels. One of the suggestions was to use tags. So a user would create a tag (or an app I build would do it through the api), and that tag’s page would function like the subforum’s page. The questio…

I appreciate that this is not the normal use case, but I would definitely like to find a way to do this with Discourse, given how awesome discourse is.

[afbeelding] JQ331: The key piece i am missing is the ability to limit users who can post with that tag. That key piece is not something on the roadmap, and not something we plan to add. There were many topics on this over the years: [afbeelding] User-Created Categories fea…

[afbeelding] Falco: There were many topics on this over the years: I’ve seen those. One difference here is that I am happy to build out an entirely separate app that then interacts with the discourse API to give the user the experience of creating a subgroup. So I can create the subgroup myse…

It seems like I could just add a custom field related to the given subforum (say, ‘subforum123’) to each permitted user, and then when a user goes to a subforum page hit the api…
