Matteo When I enable its extension, I cannot access tags limited to moderators/administrators. It simply warns that there are no threads there. If I disable it, everything goes back to normal.

As feedback, I think it would be nice to be able to set it to warn only on the last post, on the whole thread or the thread title, and only in case that old thread has no activity since X days ago.

Can you describe the problem with more details? I did some tests with restricted tags and I didn't notice any problem.

Oshvam only on the last post

I think that this behaviour can be confusing for a user.

This would be a nice feature, thank you!

@Matteo Is there a possibility of making this an actual tag that I can add permissions to so I can prevent people from being able to reply to it? And then it can also have its own page like an archive? So far it's pretty good but these extra features would help a lot.

93ben making this an actual tag

To implement this a complete refactoring is necessary, I think.

93ben prevent people from being able to reply to it?

You can just add a normal permission to do this, you don't need a tag. You can try this extension: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/18312.

Anyway, I developed this extension for a specific flaurm instance and I'm not going to make any change to the code, I'm sorry. But feel free to fork it and do whatever you want 🙂.

That's ok, I'll look into it when I get the time. I'm new to Flarum but enjoying all the features that it has and a fresher look compared to phpBB. Looking to migrating soon once I get basically the same but more.
