Is there an option where we can allow a topic to be created only if it is categorized?

The number of users is increasing on [tradingqna.com](https://tradingqna.com/) which runs on discourse, and users are not categorizing topics. As a result of this, the moderators are having a tough time and have to categorize the topics themselves.

Any help would be appreciated.
