- Moderator open topic about some issue. - It’s Topic 0
- Someone has enough TL could write new topic refer ‘Topic 0’ - It’s Topic 1..N
- Any member can vote and reply ‘Topic 1..N’ but ‘Topic 0’.
- ‘Topic 0’ shows only ‘Topic 1..N’ by their ranking.

Everytime I see bunch of topics about specific politic, social issue, I’d thought about some kind meta topic like that.

This one should be good example for this case. It’s not exactly one topic, but all topic talk about same issue (Debian init system decision).
