It took us a while, but I think we’ve finally found a system capable of handling our needs. Right now there are categories for general and policy discussion, a category specifically for handling questions, and obviously, an announcements category.
Ordinary members can’t make new topics in the announcements category, but you can reply to topics we create in there.
If you have any suggestions for additional categories or any other feedback, let us know in a reply.
Also, don’t forget to read the introductory private message in your inbox that explains how to do things!
The announcement email about this caught me by surprise to be honest as I thought we were still going to invest in our own reddit instance, but this seems better, due to the dynamic controls that are implemented based on user activity etc.
