Default Few small changes to Tweets & News subforums

To combat 4 threads on the same news item with replies and thoughts spread across said 4 threads we're making a very small change to members' permissions. Essentially:

You can no longer reply to news or tweets.

Any discussion or thoughts can go in one centralised topic in the relevant forum.

This is getting repetitive.

The reason was given, and it had got a little out of hand, the Tweet and News bots would both post the same news as well as members posting it in the correct section. Disabling replying to the news items keeps the new in the News forum and the discussion in the Discussion forums.

Default Re: Few small changes to Tweets & News subforums

The addition of tags and removal of a lot of subforums has, by having everything in a big (albeit slightly jumbled) list, dramatically reduced (virtually eliminated) the quantity of repeat topics.

Therefore once again the News/tweets section is open to discussion and replying.

This should work better than the original concept (before the reply restriction) and the interim solution (disable posting)
