Askbot: Is posible to turn a whole askbot instance to "read only"?

Question

I need to turn a whole instance of askbot to "read only".

There is a configuration param or an easy way to do that?

Why I need that? I created a new instance of askbot where people will participate and put links to another askbot instance as references. I don't want people to be allowed to write in the old instance, I want them to generate content only in the new askbot instance.

Not at the moment, but a read-only mode would be a useful feature. I'm sure we'll have it at some point (I work at Askbot).

This option has been added in the mean time. It's available in the admin settings under "Access control settings"

Look for:

Default value: False
