Which setting will allow a community manager to restrict the volume of posts ingested from specific sources?

The correct choice of Source Groups allows a community manager to limit the amount of posts that are ingested from specific sources effectively. By organizing sources into distinct groups, the manager can apply rules or limitations that govern how much content flows in from each source. This not only aids in maintaining a manageable volume of posts but also helps in focusing on more relevant or targeted content for the community.

This approach is particularly valuable when dealing with high-traffic sources or when certain sources generate noise that may detract from the quality of interactions within the community. By strategically managing the sources, the community manager ensures that the content being ingested aligns better with the community's interests and needs, ultimately enhancing user engagement and satisfaction.

While privacy settings, profile management, and content filtering each play essential roles in overall community management, they do not directly provide the specific functionality to restrict the volume of posts from particular sources in the same way that Source Groups do. Privacy settings typically deal with user permissions and visibility, profile management focuses on user account settings, and content filtering is more about curating the type of content rather than controlling the quantity from designated sources.
