Replacing System created topics by Real-Person posts

Hi Folks,

I found that some categories have pre-created topics (mostly pinned ‘About x Category’) made by the System bot. As I understand, I cannot delete them, but I would like to replace them with some personal messages created by a real user, as this looks odd and creates a feeling that it’s artificially generated. I see that I can edit the system post and put my own content, but it still leaves the ‘system’ as an original author. Any hints? Newbie here.

Welcome to Meta :wave:

You can change the author of the posts:

Usually, it is also helpful to close these topics because replies are easily overlooked as the about topics are hidden from /latest.
