Restrictions should be applied only when needed and on actual cases where it is needed. Applying such restrictions ‘a priori’ is just message to us that we are idiots that need to be controlled. This just reduces usablity and complicates organizing content.

Let people be and freely communicate and contribute. If someone makes problems, handle that person. Requirement for category to be opened is that there are three moderators appointed. That is more than enough to handle people who behave oddly.

That is my opinion based on 30 years of actively participation in administering mail lists, newsgroups, forums, and various social media sites.

I hope that there is no option to also automatically close topic after some time.
