Requirements to reply in a specific category

I thought about making a custom “internal badge” that is awarded if you have twice as many posts in other categories than in that specific category - but that wouldn’t help much, since you can’t limit replies to people with specific badges?

That is another suggestion: In security on categories, it would be cool if we could require one or more badges to enable replying there

Category permissions are restricted by group memberships. So instead of awarding them a custom badge, add them to a custom group. Then go to category settings and set it so that the everybody can see the category but to create or reply you need to belong to the group.
