Hi Stephen,

Interesting questions. It would be a pretty substantial change to limit our main forum to ‘see’ only, and then to identify and group the users who can create and respond. I think the simplest answer, given that this isn’t how Discourse works, is to simply ask this small group of users to refrain from participating in the main categories.
