Feature Request - Gating Community Post Categories
tldr; ability to apply feature-gate or "lock" to certain categories of conversations, similar to application of feature-gate or "lock" to certain Classroom modules. We have an ascension offer in place, it looks roughly like this: Program #1 + 90 days 1-1 coaching - $x,000 Program #1 + 12 mo 1-1 coaching & advanced course modules - $x,000 * 2 The purpose of the extra modules is that certain information is counterproductive for students that aren't conceptually on a certain level yet. i.e., going from $0 to $100,000 is different than going from $100,000 to $1,000,000. More focus on hiring & KPIs, processes, scalable pricing models, paid acquisition, client onboarding & retention, etc. Walk before you crawl type of thing. While its clearly possible to restrict certain Classroom modules to those members, it doesn't seem possible to restrict certain Community discussion categories to those members. Meaning, if Student A makes a post on an advanced topic we haven't trained Student B on, Student B can become very confused and dejected fairly quickly. The request here is to apply access controls on the Community discussions. The only other solution (which is maybe just the way it SHOULD be) is to create another Skool instance. The downside of that is naturally that the "best" students may end up only talking in that group, lowering the quality of discussion in the primary group.

Rising Spam Issues On Skool
Leaving this in Product Feedback as it seems best suited for that. We're having an increasingly large problem with spam accounts or otherwise less savory people mass following new members saying sketchy things in their profile like "I can teach you how to turn $150 into $5,000 in 2 hours just join X group or message me/call me". This seems to have become an increasingly large problem over the past week with some larger public investment announcements. The easy fix for this (in my view) is to simply give group administrators the option to "protect" their member lists. I understand that the point of Skool is to empower collaboration and community, but there needs to be a balance between that collaboration & the privacy of users that we quite frankly spend a lot to acquire. For anyone that's operated in the high ticket space, you know full well it can cost thousands, if not many thousands of dollars to acquire a customer. This "list" should be at least somewhat protected by the platform, similar to how it was on some of the more popular alternatives like Facebook Groups. I see this becoming a growing problem as the Skool platform grows, and would love to see some sort of effort to protect our community members from spam and BS.

Post Approvals System
Description of Problem: it only takes one or two sour apples to ruin the vibes in a community. It happens from time to time (especially in high ticket where people are investing a fair amount) that a student gets upset and decides to start spamming the group with upsetting posts and content. This often has a ripple effect of diminishing peoples' confidence in themselves and their ability to succeed. As a platform that prides itself on community collaboration, I'm sure most everyone can agree that a moderation suite is critical in maintaining integrity. Feature: the specific request would be for the ability to toggle-on a "posts must be approved by a moderator" feature that allows the moderators or admins to preview posts, and then choose to approve or deny them. If the post is denied, the moderator or admin would have the ability to send private feedback to the user about the reason behind the rejection of the post. Business impact: we're about to migrate roughly 3,000 high ticket clients into Skool. The lack of more robust moderation tools means we need to staff extra customer support resources to lurk on the community page, ready to remove any "violating" posts. Puppy gif included below for greater visibility!

@Sid Sahasrabuddhe I respect your point, but that seems more like an ideal rather than a practicality of what actually happens. When someone spends thousands of dollars (sometimes the last dollars to their name) to join a program and are hit with buyers remorse (whether justified or unjustified), they often lash out from fear. It's possible to help talk those people off the ledge, but that process takes place individually, not in public for all to see.

@Sid Sahasrabuddhe yep, I think it will be a big blocker for larger groups migrating over from Facebook.. appreciate your input!
Really don’t understand
Hey guys I really don’t get it.. When MY leads sign up to my Skool Group they have to enter their email addresses to create a Skool account. WHY aren’t those emails accessible to me, as the ‘owner’ of this lead, just like that? To my leads Skool is just an ‘engine’ , the inderlying platform, like Clickfunnels, powering my community in the background. Btw asking them AGAIN for their email in the signup questions is totally redundant - seen from the lead’s perspective. “Why am I asked my email again?” In fact, same with the SK thumbnail in the iphone app. My leads and customers are looking for the brand they signed up to - which is not Skool. Let me know if the above makes sense? Thanks!

You can turn on membership questions and ask them for email, or collect the email before they reach the platform. Same concept as someone trying to join a Facebook group.
HOW TO USE SKOOL?
Hey guys! Love to be here🙌 I have a Qs on how YOU use SKOOL in your biz - I am currently using Kajabi (ALL-IN-ONE: landing pages, email list, CRM, payment, courses etc), I am thinking of potentially switching to SKOOL but don't know other softwares to enable the marketing + CRM part, how does your software 'landscape' look like at the moment with SKOOL?? 🧐

Skool integrates with Zapier so you can use any major marketing stack with it.
