Require topics in stream messages

By default, users are not required to specify a topic in stream messages; if a user sends a message without a topic, the message's topic is displayed as (no topic).

If message editing is enabled, any other user can then edit the topic of such a message to set a topic, even if community topic editing is otherwise off.

You can instead choose to require a topic for new stream messages.

1. From your desktop, click on the gear () in the upper right corner.

2. Select Manage organization.

3. On the left, click Organization settings.

4. Under Message feed, select Require topics in messages to streams.

5. Click Save changes.
