As I was creating the topic for the [paid] job, I started to think about the implementation details of Robin’s proposal, and I thought about a perhaps simpler alternative that would work better for our site: creating the topic when a user clicks the link. The interesting thing about humans clicking the link is that such action denotes a level of interest. Even when a site has million of pages, it is very likely that only a fraction of them will get that interested human clicking the link. Considerations: - What about search engines and other bots? For starters, we can start by putting our hopes in a `rel="nofollow"`. - An alternative would be to put the sign up / log in dialog upfront, which is anyway required to post a reply. The topic would be created once the user has been identified. - What about the time it takes to create the new topic? First, how many seconds is that approximately? I think users would understand if we present a dialog with a spinner saying “You are the first user replying. A new discussion topic is being created for you.” - What about users not posting any reply at the end? That would be fine. The big filtering compared to topics created by pages loaded has already happened. In some cases (like our website) those cloned topics without responses are also useful, because they enter the radar of the regular users who mainly watch the forum. - Note that this procedure would allow users to simply Like a post without replying, also an interesting input. What do you think? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-but-dont-automatically-create-a-topic-until-a-user-chooses-to-comment/61450)._
