On our installation we do not allow topics to be created without a category.
We have noticed however when admins post they can post without having one.
The usual prompt saying “you must choose a category” doesn’t appear for admins.
It appears this is a bug.
This is intentional, admins are immune to this restriction as super users.
I notice moderators are also immune. Is this also intentional?
As a moderator on a Discourse site, I can’t post without choosing a category. Make sure the following setting is unchecked allow uncategorized topics
I have tested it on two different sites both with
it it is allowing moderators to post without choosing a category.
Ahh, seems I’m mistaken. I was able to produce an edit in the UI, but found once an appropriate title and content were entered the edit for choose a category doesn’t apply.
Here it is on latest locally as a moderator.
It’s fixed! Moderators must choose a category like everyone else now.
