I know we have the ability to customize text in a banner per category, but the location of the header is somewhat detached from the disabled New Topic button.
For categories without banner text specified, an additional info button and tooltip are displayed. We really like the location of this information, but the reasoning behind why people cannot make topics varies between categories—so it doesn’t make sense to use this generic response in all cases:
For example, users can’t make topics in Announcements because only the staff makes announcements. However, new topics are disabled in some parent categories because we only want people to post in a subcategory.
