Thanks @jessmart1213, I will wait for more responses and will start.

Calling this one low priority for now. We will most likely be dedicating the first sprint of Q3 to cleanup, hoping to catch a lot of this sort of stuff then.

Per discussion with product/design, reposting from slack

1. Hide threads without topics in all places
2. Alert the community admin that "Deleting a topic would remove all its threads, this is a non-reversible action"
3. Prevent community admin from deleting the default "General" topic

If we are not allowing deletion of the General topic (which is probably best) do we allow the default topic to be renamed? This is something users want (ie control over what the default topic is called if it cannot be deleted.)

Not a top priority but would be great to get an answer here @jessmart1213 @zakhap
