You're correct in calling them "classifications," which is a synonym of "categories." However, "topics" is not. And yes, you were clear. Unfortunately, you were also wrong.
Take the Grendel forum, for example. Some topics of discussion are banned (e.g., religion, politics), as are some categories of speech (e.g., obscenities, personal attacks).
Looks like I painted myself into a corner debating you again Stan.
