Hi! I'm curious how to *dis*allow a group from seeing a forum. I'd like ~80% of my members, including all new members, to see the forum, but to disallow certain members (~20%) who do not meet certain criteria after a period of time from seeing that forum. When I go into Forum Permissions Control, I can easily enable access for a group, of course, but if "Members" is checked the groups are grayed out and I thus cannot uncheck a group, which is what I had been hoping to do. I definitely do not want to ban them, just to restrict them.
Right now all I can think to do is to create a forum for 80% of members and to enable the forum for them, but then I have to remember to put every new member into this group, unless there is a default way to do this.
So:
1) Is there a way to disallow a group from seeing a forum other than by creating a group of everyone else and enabling it only for them?
2) If not, is there a way to put new members into this main group by default so that I don't have to manually add each new member immediately?
Thank you!
