I'd like a way for users to be able to post notices, and see their notices in the public timeline when logged in, but have their notices not show up in the public timeline for anyone else. This would make it more difficult for malicious users or spammers to get attention and more difficult for them to realise they need to go register another account. Additionally, each of these consequences should be independently addable and removable by the admin to an ACL that each user would have. There can be 'policy groups' for combinations (eg combinations called Silence and Sandbox) to be quick and easy to apply. _______________________________________________ StatusNet-dev mailing list StatusNet-dev@lists.status.net http://lists.status.net/mailman/listinfo/statusnet-dev
