Hiding Sub-Category Pin Topics

[mcwumbly (Dave McClure)]

A few possible solutions:

1. You can already select None as the subcategory on the topic list page to filter out those posts.

2. You could instead make a subcategory in London called General or something, and restrict posting directly in the top level.

3. Like 1, but make None the default selection:

When in a category, default to "none" rather than "all" subcategories

I’d like to find a way to default the view for all users to display “none” rather than “all” subcategories, when in a category. “all” would be an option they could select. Is there any way to achieve this? Generally, my community is finding “none” as an option to select unintuitive.
