Sounds like a crazy but useless idea right?

I've been wondering that maybe if the administrator could have the power and option to take off the viewing power? I know there's no option for viewing the forum but it came to me that some of us could take off the power of members to view the forums on the groups. Why? Maybe you could adjust something in the forum or could just be making some changes and surprises that the members can't see until afterwards.

It happened to my group. Thanks for listening.

Well, not viewing the forums is pretty much like being blacklisted, only except you could post articles and such. I really don't think it is necessary. If they can't access the forums, they might leave - whether they are blacklisted or not.

Some would like for members to not view the forum. Why? Maybe the founder needs to check something and fix the forum for a short while and let the members see and post in it again. Just a little suggestion.

Just remove the forum privs from that security role and they won't be able to view the group forum. I don't know why most groups are made only for the forums however your group. You decide.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.

Hmm good idea i guess. but the only reason would be for maintenance but seeing how this happens pretty rarely in most groups, i doubt it would be impliamented.
