3 All Discussions objects are basically the same. You get a set of
4 options which are inherited from the parent or provided.

6 == Options ==
7
8 Options can be in one of three states: unset, set, and locked. In
9 the case where the option is locked, all children inherit the setting
10 as well:
11
12 archive.lock = false
13
14 Locking an option prohibits any but a higher-level admin from
15 unlocking it. The higher-level admin is free to change the setting:
16
17 archive.lock = false
18 archive = true
19
20 This locks the archive of subchildren into the false state, but sets
21 the archive for this discussion in the current discussion.
22
23 This prevents archiving on any sublist. Messages to a list inherit
24 the list settings.
25
26 If an option is unset, it will use the settings of its parent, the
27 site defaults, or the application default, based on its type
28 (Forum or Discussion).
