Thanks for this plugin! I was looking for a way to provide a basic ticketing system in our community.
I’m also thinking of using this in my Buy/Sell/Trade category. Right now I have it set where everyone can read topics, but only people in a specific group can reply and create. The current workflow is: Member acknowledges that they read the rules by liking the post. Once they like the post, they are granted a custom badge. Discourse Automate adds them to the group based on the badge.
This stops people that haven’t accepted the rules from posting in the category. However, they can still see/read all of the postings.
So, would it work if I remove everyone from the category and only have that custom group in the security tab? As long as I have posts from the Admin group always visible, would people not in the custom group still be able to see and like the rules? Then, once they like and are added to the group, everything opens for them?
