Epic Commonroom — 0.1.0 alpha
Requires WordPress 6.4+ and PHP 8.0+. GPL v2 or later.

Install and activate as a WordPress plugin. Add channels under Discussions > Channels.
Publish discussions using the standard WordPress editor. Pin/lock with Discussion controls.
Shortcodes: [epic_commonroom] for search, filters, topic list and pagination;
[commonroom_submit] for the logged-in member submission form.
The Commonroom theme adds a channel sidebar and complete forum layout.

Frontend topic submissions require a logged-in member and a valid nonce, are rate-limited
to one per minute, and are always pending editor approval. Plain text only.
Member replies require login and are held for moderation even if general Discussion
settings allow automatic approval. Moderators follow standard WordPress approval rules.
Locking a topic prevents new replies. Existing replies stay visible.
Sort by newest or approved reply count; pinned discussions remain first.

Deactivation does not delete discussions, channels or comments. Content remains in the
database; reactivate the plugin to manage it again. No custom tables or external services.
This alpha has no private messaging, subscriptions, custom profiles, automated updates,
commercial support agreement, or additional anti-spam service. Use staging and backups.
