Is possible to have a simple feature in the admin panel that disable any email activity while importing data from another forum?
The same flag could also remove all the restrictions about user levels (max daily topic, etc)
I notice that @eviltrout is already looking at this. Any news?

I’m not actively working on this, but I think @zogstrip has made some progress with his read only version of the site. Is this already implemented?
Right now there’s only the Discourse.readonly_mode? flag. We still need to use it anywhere it should be used. PR welcomes 
I believe there is a disable all mail site setting now.

Nope. The “disable_emails” site setting is working quite well
