A user creates a topic-based discussion forum if he/she has a serious long-term intention to communicate on a topic, wants to moderate the discussion forum and set the rules. In the header of the forum, the user defines the purpose of the forum and the rules of communication.
For topic-based discussion forums, access rights can be used to define who can read the forum, who can post, and who the moderators are. A topic forum is therefore also suitable for cases where you need a closed discussion (e.g. people working together on a project, employees of a certain workplace, etc.).

The topic-based discussion forum can also be made available to anyone from the Internet (for reading and contributing). You can create your own discussion forum using
