Forum Module D8 Do we really need a new module, Forum-Access, to do what permissions should do for FORUM. If I wanted to stop anonymous unauthenticated users from seeing forum posts shouldn't I be able to easily turn that off for anonymous users via permissions or contrariwise, default inability to see until the role 'anonymous user' has been given the permission. I cannot find a Forum Module to see where to point this discussion so I thought it might be a good topic here.... Also put it in chat... Since the module Forum-Access has not been created for D8 I thought it appropriate timing to suggest that this feature should be in the module itself and not a new module...

Usually they want a high level of project maturity and/or support before considering something for core. The Forum-Access module is looking for co-maintainers so somebody signing up for that would be the first step towards getting those features in core.

Also, in Drupal 8 the forum module builds on nodes, comments, and taxonomy terms, so you can find several permissions options for it under those categories.
