View submission: Making it easier to host events
I'm a little confused about the scheduled post and the idea of following it (like the demo shows). If it won't be posted until a specific time, how can users follow it to get the notification? Or are those two aspects of it just basically incompatible?

So when you create an event, you have two options on when you want to submit the post:
1. **Submit post now** (before the event start time): This is means that your community users will be able to see the post like a normal submission but with the added functionality of being able to follow it. And we'll remind those who have followed it when the event starts.
2. **Submit post at event start time**: This means that your post will be invisible to your community users until the time you stated. Now, where does that post live? We're building a Mod Scheduled posts feed that other mods can see whats upcoming! Now in this scenario, there won't be a way for your community to follow it.
Would you want the ability to not submit it, but have it public to users? Or would you want to the ability to lock comments/voting, etc. ?
Hope this helps!

Also we're thinking about an Upcoming Calendar view so users can see all the upcoming events going on across Reddit and/or your community.
