I am experiencing this as well.

I’m migrating a forum to Discourse and there are a lot of single-post topics – including announcements, as well as people sharing useful material that did not always generate comments.

Is it possible to tag and re-categorize these topics without updating their activity counter?

Edit: can I at least revert the activity counter? This is _super_ confusing.
