Summarizing some recent Flow in-person discussions:
* We're going to append "(undo)" to lines in Flow board and topic history
pages, but only for edits to board header, topic title, topic summaries,
and posts. (When someone creates a new topic or a reply post, it's not a
new revision of the Flow board; for these "Undo" doesn't work at a
technical level, and the mental model should be different.)

* To deal with spam topics and posts, we're going to append "(hide)" (and
delete | suppress for admins) to "created new topic"/"commented" lines
on
board and topic history pages. These will work the same as
hide|delete|suppress actions do on Flow board and topic pages.
We'll append (unhide) to "xx hid topic/post" lines in board and topic
history.

After this is implemented, we could change Flow boards and topics to not
show hidden topics and posts. Users would only see them in the history and
could unhide from there.
(I can't find the card for this)
* We're going to rename Close topic to Lock topic. This better matches what
it actually does, which is prevent new posts and changes (with lots of bugs
currently). To make it more obvious what Lock does, we'll remove the Reply
and Edit links from a locked topic, instead of them failing on submit.

Note many use case of "This topic is closed" fit well with the Summarize
topic action. People can and should put {{done}}, {{abandoned}},
{{answered}}, etc. templates and markup in a topic's summary.
We'll probably begin developing these in the next two-week sprint.
Hope this helps.
