Basically what happens is when you click the reply button, it ask if you want to use moderator powers to reply, even if you arenāt a moderator. If the post is flagged, this doesnāt happen. I think that the best you can do is delist it. Donāt quote me tho.
Iām sorry for almost destroying multiple communities. six times.
additional friction around replying to a closed topic, which is probably a good thing
a ājust in timeā reminder that youāre about to do something that only a moderator can do (post to a closed topic)
I can support adding an additional pop-up warning here @eviltrout if you want to assign it, and if it is easy?
(Iām not concerned at all about the ātopic was closed while someone was writing a replyā case, but TL4 / staff users accidentally replying to closed topics when they did not intend to has definitely passed the rule of 3.)
That is a theme that already exists located here that is installed on our forum. What he is specifically mentioning is that a user without TL4 powers is getting that notification when the reply button is still (for some reason) there on closed topics upwards of 20 minutes after itās closed (and refreshing)
