Is it possible to set the Forums auto-lock by category? I have one specific forum category (Classifieds) that I would like to set to auto-lock without locking the other categories.

Similarly, ban members from posting in specific categories, not just Forums globally.

Those features are not supported but we can add them as a feature request. But first, why do you want to just ban users from categories? Bans are usually an 'ultimate moderation' so a user could just post questionable content elsewhere?

Paul -

Great. Please add "auto-lock Forum posts on a category basis" as a feature request - or do I need to?

You are right about the global Forums ban. If a member is going to be abusive they are going to be abusive everywhere. But the kind of abuse I am talking about might be limited to my community, or not be generally applicable.

My Classifieds Forum has a specific use: posts about buying and selling equipment and there are some pretty specific rules about posting to it. It's about banning members who ignore the posting rules in that one forum category. For the most part they are well behaved on the rest of the site.
