How your team can get more from Ubuntu Discourse
summary
Covers concrete Discourse features and workflows: convert public threads to private messages with multiple recipients and back, use polls and wikis in closed topics but remember voting and edits persist until a moderator closes or reopens, and use slow mode to throttle hot responses. Explains retiring: unlist hides but preserves URL, archive freezes content; notes Ubuntu Discourse currently has 37 categories, tags should be two max (first = team name), admins can mandate tags, moderators can move posts, flag for action, mute, or suspend (common penalty = 48 hours).
