205.0. "how to make it so replies are not allowed?" by DECWET::LENOX (When Sears comes out with a Kenmore PC...) Wed Apr 30 1997 13:34

So I just put up netnotes on my NT box and the only
things that I will want to do but haven't figured out
are how to make it so replies are not allowed.  We
have a conference where the first 100 notes are only
writable by moderators (of which I am one) and we
don't want people asking questions in those notes.

A dir on the title with repl and allow doesn't show
anything and this notes conference isn't indexed by
comet from all that I can tell.

thx

    I just started using Netnotes, so this is just guessing on my part, but
    on DEC Notes, you can set individual topics to be read-only.  I saw the
    UI in Netnotes that allows you to set that bit.  I'm not sure if the
    Netnotes server supports this functionality, but you could try.
    
    Basically, create a stub for all the reserved notes you wish
    (typically, topic is "Reserverd"), then set them to read-only. 
    Moderators can easily by-pass this.

ahh, yes, you are correct.  It is confusing because
we make sure we set a specific note to no replies
allowed even when putting in a new reply to a
read only topic.

thanks...
