Hey guys I found something on the hopscotch forums which is powerd by discourse it’s where you can edit things in a closed topic so for exsaple when a topic is closed for a good reason people can edit there posts and keep talking @sam I think that this should be fixed so that you can’t edit in a closed topic! ---

This is by design, if moderators want to stop all the editing they have the option of “archiving” a topic. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/9/a9055a457221d867c49028832cc615bdbd208526.png) ---
