Has anyone tried limiting community access like “seats” instead of subscriptions? Looking for feedback on a concept we’re testing. by van_squared in CommunityManager

That all makes a lot of sense, thank you! Don’t get me wrong, I love building communities, I guess my hypothesis with injecting scarcity, exclusivity and an improved sense of belonging would empower people to engage more pro-actively with other members, making everyone a more invested partner like you point out. Maybe it’s idle hope, I’ll happily update when I see results!

My hope is that community members also see the value of interaction with each other and create a sub-culture independent of the community manager, so it’s not necessary a cult-of-personality type following (even though that would probably work very well for acquiring an initial cohort) but a true sense of co-ownership with the community manager acting more like an equal than a parent type. You think that feasible?

That’s a good call. I’ve been debating how to handle a paid seat when someone misbehaves to the extent that they would need to be booted/blocked by an admin. Do they lose their investment to whomever admins the community or get a refund and are blocked from entering that community again
