Restrict creation of new topics
Hi it'd be very useful to be able to restrict the creation of new topics to a given group (moderators for example). Essentially allow controls at the level of topics as they currently exist for posts (right now it seems posts/topics are treated as one entity for control purposes).
Right now you can lock the entire forum but that locks posting also so doesn't work. Also that can only be done by admins.

elsyan,
hehe... there is a bug
. It doesn't concern Joo!BB forum because I allow to post/reply all registered users. But others could have problems. 
This will be fixed soon.
When I understand you correctly, you want to decide between people who are able to create a topic and those who are able to post a reply. Am I right? E.g.:
Post: Moderators (User must be at least a moderator to create a topic)
Reply: Registered (User must be at least registered to be able to post a reply)
This will not work in current version and will be fixed in RC3.
