Welcome to the Judaism community on Codidact!

Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.

Comments on Purim Torah should be visible year-round

Purim Torah should be visible year-round

+6
−0

The Purim Torah category is scheduled to disappear at the end of Adar. All its posts will disappear also: not even their respective authors will be able to see them. (Moderators will.)

I recommend the category continue to exist and be visible year-round, but be locked to edits, edit suggestions, comments, and flags out of season. After all, (1) I know I like to read PT out of season sometimes. Plus, (2) if it's invisible, people may propose its existence as a new feature and/or re-ask already-asked PT questions at the start of the season, not having seen them.

However, I don't think the category should appear in the header bar atop each page out of season. That's too much clutter, and it'll frustratingly make people want to post when they can't. But it should appear on the list of categories and the posts should remain visible.

I Agree. (15 char)

We don't have the technology yet to make a non-prominent, read-only category, so we're going to do a full hide this year and consider a more nuanced approach in future years.
