The other solution to this, as much as I hate to make things more complicated, is we could make the original a Wiki, which means anyone with sufficient privileges can edit the original and change the meetup details. That would solve separate people needing to make a new thread when they inherit ongoing events.
Nope, forget I said that. ITâS TOO MUCH POWER TO INFORM THE MASSES THEY HAD ALL ALONGâŚ
OK, thanks! Iâll see how this goes.
A wiki seems like a bad idea for updating a recurring event, partly because there wonât be a clear record of past events (I assume anyone can read the edit history of a Discourse wiki, but thatâs clunky and non-obvious), and more importantly any conversation wonât be threaded properly in between the announcements and descriptions of each new event.
Just having to make a new thread when you want to take ownership of a thing like this seems simple enough.
