Hide all "about the x category" topics

@JammyDodger

I think the best thing to do with them, as is, is just to leave them as category descriptions and close them off

There is a feature topic about changing the default

About Category Auto-Created Topic - Sitewide Options

You have shamed me into tidying all ours up on Meta. I also encountered a similar issue on another forum I’m on, so I should really have known better. But I think the point still stands. The About topics are automatically hidden from topic lists, so it is easy to overlook a reply on those. Closing them by default, or making them ‘unreplyable’ in some other way, would likely be quite useful to most sites.
