Server settings

# Close sign-ups automatically

Sign-ups close if no administrator or moderator uses the server for a period you choose.

-   Set the inactivity period on the Registration tab.
-   When that happens, the server closes sign-ups and invitation links, then emails administrators and moderators.
-   After that, staff need to turn sign-ups back on by hand.
