Set Age Limits and Manage Direct Messaging for Younger Club Members

Updated over a month ago

In the 'Settings' section of Spond Club, you will find 'Group Settings,' where you can set an age limit for direct messages. This means that members below the specified age cannot send or receive messages from other group members, guardians, or administrators. However, administrators and guardians can still communicate with each other.

If you enable this age limit, you can grant certain administrators the rights to continue sending messages to children in the group. This can be managed under 'Club Settings' and 'Group Roles.'


How to assign rights for 'Group Roles'

  1. Settings

  2. Group Roles

  3. Edit an existing group role (three dots) or create a new group role

  4. Scroll down until you find "Override age limit for direct messages"

  5. Tick the box if you want to override it or not


NOTE: Messages sent from Spond Club are not affected by these changes. Additionally, guardians of children in one or more groups will see a new tab in the message view, allowing them to view conversations that their child is part of in these groups.
