Feature request: "redirect" "New Topic" button to a valid category when user doesn't have permission to post somewhere

Would these moderators and admins still be able to switch to the “incorrect” category from the composer, or would it ideally be hidden there too?

That is what I was thinking, yeah. (I’d prefer there also be a step of “I am a moderator — unlock posting here”, but I know that’s complicated.)

@awesomerobot

Would there need to be some mechanism (a special group?) to determine who could intentionally post in the closed category?

I think just the normal category permissions?

@awesomerobot

In the event that there are no available subcategories that can be posted in, would it be better to hide the new topic button, rather than making it appear disabled?

Or disabled with hover text explaining why?
