I have another question on this.
Can I specify defaults for topics in a category ?
I want to have this set by default for all new topics in a category …
Thanks!

I don’t think that’s currently possible, though someone may correct me. The standard ones available in the category `settings` tab are slow-mode and auto-close, but I can’t see one for auto-delete.

Yeah, didn´t find it myself. You think that´s worth a feature request ? 🙂

I think it’s worth a pop. 👍 Especially if you’ve got a good use case.
I think a couple of people might have asked for it in this topic, though it was slightly different to the feature the topic was suggesting:
> [@Category-level auto-delete topics the same as auto-close feature](https://meta.discourse.org/t/auto-delete-topics-the-same-as-auto-close-feature/138361/7):

> I think this would be very useful as well. We have a category where each post is a wiki (for our internal documentation). We use replies to discuss change-requests and these are deleted after 30 days. We can set up auto wiki on a category level, but it would be really great if we can automatically add a topic timer (auto delete replies after X days) to each new topic in the category. Right now we have to do it manually for each topic which is a lot of extra clicks.

This topic was automatically closed 30 days after the last reply. New replies are no longer allowed.

There’s now a dedicated #Contribute > Feature topic for this - [Default topic timer to auto-delete replies!](https://meta.discourse.org/t/default-topic-timer-to-auto-delete-replies/280181) 👍
