Is it possible to make all admin created posts non-editable to all other users?

Have you ever done it that way successfully or you’re just thinking it might work? Because that may create new problems

1. The TOS document no longer can be moved to the official staff category anymore (if something goes wrong/if your method doesn’t work)
2. The above issue can create another one → now the TOS is not visible in the default TOS tab because the system cannot find the tos document in the staff category.

Did you say that after trying it? I initially moved this topic to an only-admin-editable category on my forum. There are no side effects. There is no such “may” as what you said.

And there are 5 hidden settings related to this topic. rails c to the ruby console environment, then use SiteSetting.tos_topic_id = xxx to set them to whatever topic id you want.

  tos_topic_id:
    default: -1
    hidden: true
  guidelines_topic_id:
    default: -1
    hidden: true
  privacy_topic_id:
    default: -1
    hidden: true
  welcome_topic_id:
    default: -1
    hidden: true
  admin_quick_start_topic_id:
    default: -1
    hidden: true
    client: true

Discourse does has given administrators a lot more rights than other platforms. Please don’t make such comments without trying. I mean, if Discourse were a car manufacturer, you shouldn’t ask it to deliver you Transformers - and all for free.
