I just prefer it for consistency. It’s good to have something static. My users and I are all new to Discourse and loving it, but somehow it feels good to have a routine. A safe place to get started.
Sometimes I feel that there was something I was supposed to make a topic of, and then when I see the categories they remind me. I like the little things in life.
damn straight.
Maybe double the size of those category bars? Lighter colors seem to disappear to the background.
Actually that makes perfect sense, but I if something can be made configurable, it should.
In an ideal situation the first person to derail will split the topic BEFORE the second person, and even in the case of the second person to derail splitting the topic it’s still not a lost cause, and if it’s absolutely necessary to change ownership of a topic, it’s not biggie when having enough moderators around.
edit: man I love quoting in discourse.
