Hi Gary and welcome.? I can set various things? like auto accept new members, but grant them read only access the the messages.? Later, myself or a moderator can set it so they can post.? I can also set up a welcome message that explains things like rules etc.
The old group was very large, so I can't really see limiting this one to only a few members.
My discord group can go back to a smaller group once this one is established and it's purpose was for shared coding projects.? I find the layout better on? discord for projects as it is simple to separate the messages into channels.? I was disappointed that the hash tags are just flags, I thought they would branch into various threads.
We have a fair bit of time to get this worked out and we can even have 90 days to try the premium features.?
Mel

Subject: Re: [ib-async] Forum planning #forum_planning
I agree with taking it slowly to start off since I'm new to this groups.io thing. Mel when you say you can automate a lot of the admin, how exactly would you accomplish that??
Before we open the floodgates, we need to decide what kind of forum we want this to be: do we want it to be exclusive to maybe only a select few dozen vetted members that can share coding and trading ideas without requiring constant support / moderating etc., or a more open, inclusive forum that is more dedicated to helping newbies get started and troubleshooting issues? Personally I would prefer the former but am not against being more inclusive, although my capacity for providing support and troubleshooting might not be up to the task lol!
As for a list of hashtags, here's a start:
#async_support, #ib_support, #coding, #trading_ideas, #algo_trading, #general?
(note no #python_support since there's plenty of resources out there for this!)
