Facebook – Open Facebook group, but restrict user posting

facebookfacebook-groups

We have a group that we have been using to basically run a D&D game. It's a closed group, and we want to open it so that the general public can follow the progress.

However, since this is a fairly structured system that we have created, we don't want random people posting, and throwing everything into chaos.

What we want to achieve is allow only the chosen party (i.e. those participating in the story) to be able to post, and restrict everyone else from posting, even if they follow the page.
(This includes commenting as well).

Is there any possibility?

Following are the settings you can change:

  • Set that all posts must be approved by the administrator.
  • Turn off commenting in the group you admin.

Once you set the approval for the posts, no one can post in the group without admin approval (note: if there are more than one admin, any admin can approve). An admin can also disable the commenting for any post or delete any comment on existing post.
