This is an idea associated with the Pitstop Community Forums, not ServiceDesk Plus itself, but as it's the only forum I participate in, I'm posting here. The 'General' area of the forums appear to be full of spam, but feel free to move elsewhere if appropriate.

To help keep up-to-date with SDP, I have subscribed to (clicked 'Follow' on) the "Announcements" section of the SDP forum. However, the majority of posts that I am notified of are users reporting issues.

Is it possible to restrict user posts in some sub-categories to only forum moderators/administrators? This would help to ensure that only true announcements by ManageEngine employees are posted in the 'Announcements' sub-category, thereby triggering e-mail alerts to followers of that section.

It might seem like a purely selfish request, but I only ask because I think it would be beneficial for everyone if posts were categorised correctly :-)

If there is another channel by which I could receive official notifications, please let me know. 

To help clarify what I mean, as I write this post I can choose any sub-category from the drop-down list, and it defaults to "Announcements" because it's at the top:

Perhaps some of the other categories are also best restricted to moderator-level users as well.

Thanks for your consideration.
