I was wondering how I can create a list of static topics on my forum. For example, if I had a forum for animal types I would have static topics like CATS, FISH, DOGS, HORSES, that people could post under. If I would only want people to be able to post under these static topics, how would I create a forum like that?
Thanks,

You could create a new role for your users based on the participant role without the publish_topics role.
