I have found that my users in the discussion list are creating their own topics rather than using the existing ones, so decided to make it a read-only list and use WordPress moderated comments. Since I do not have the original settings for READ ONLY (this is a hosted version), I want to make sure that these are correct. Can someone comment.
I'm guessing what you want and what you are saying First, I think you are saying your issue is that your users are using HyperKitty as a web forum and when replying to a message in an existing thread instead of using the 'reply' action on that message, they use the Start a new thread button.
Is that really what you are saying?
MOST IMPORTANT—> What setting makes it a discussion list as opposed to read only?
If by "read only" you mean the "Announce only mailing list style" as opposed to the "Ordinary discussion mailing list style" the only difference is that for the Announce only style the list attribute allow_list_posts is False and for the Discussion style, it's True.
This is the setting in Postorius -> Settings -> Alter Messages -> Include the list post header an all it does is include or not include the List-Post: header in mail from the list.
ALTER MESSAGES
Filter content Now YES
Collapse Alternatives Now yes
Convert html to plain text Now NO
Above are not relevant.
Anonymous NOW YES
Are you sure you want this. What it does is replace the From: address with the list posting address and removes all other headers that could aid in identifying the poster. It is intended for lists discussing things such as domestic abuse where people may want to be able to post anonymously.
Include RFC2369 headers Now Yes
OK, but not relevant
Include the list post header Now Yes
This is what the announce style will set to No.
Reply Goes to List Now No munging
Pipeline Default
DMARC MITIFGATIONS
Replace From with list address
DMARC mitigate unconditionally Now NO
MESSAGE ACCEPTANCE
Require Explicit Destination Yes
Administrivia YES
The above are OK, but again not relevan to what I think you're asking.
Default action to take when a member posts to the list Hold for moderation
Default action to take when a member posts to the list Hold for moderation
Basically these two settings will hold all posts for moderator action, however if the user has a moderation setting other thgan list default, they won't apply.
OTHER?
See the FAQ at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030685>. This is written for Mailman 2.1 and older and some of the settings aren't relevant or exactly the same in Mailman 3, but it may help.
On the other hand, if I'm not understanding what you want, please clarify.
