Is there an easy way to allow regular users to be able to archive a topic they started? I don’t think this feature would be abused for what I’m considering using discourse for. For example for a buy and sell category, where the item is sold, or maybe a category discussing events, where the event is over, it would be good if the original poster could archive the topic themselves.
A point in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks!
I was searching here regarding ‘archiving’ topics, but I found now that this was discussed a bit already in regards to ‘closing’ topics - https://meta.discourse.org/t/closing-own-created-topics-for-users-at-level-3/12414/8 - where in that discussion it was basically decided that it was not good to have the power in general for users, but it wasn’t discussed on a per-category level.
By the way, I can’t find the definition/function of closing a topic vs archiving a topic. What is the difference?
OK, so maybe ‘archive’ is more of an admin/mod level task, but pretty much the same thing. I would be ok with just letting them ‘close’ their own topic, but that is also not possible either at the moment I guess.
