Problem/Motivation

I am trying to sort closed discussions cleanly away and want to find the best solution for this. The goal is to have a separate view for closed discussions, the main view should not list closed discussions, comments closed, nodes need to get marked as closed and vote results shown but disabled. So i think a own content type with different field settings would be handy.
I can close comments, work with views and somehow mark a node as closed, but not stop the voting. Changing content type with Convert Bundles may do the trick sorting out the nodes. But I did not try it yet, because of this issue.

Steps to reproduce

I run alpha5 with a patch from #3133123: Rate content permission is not ported to D8, but this does not cover nodes, content types or similar.

Proposed resolution

So I think me and others would need a write protection based on nodes or whole content types, better both. Respectively a own rate content permission for each content type and something on node level.
(I post this as support request, because I miss maybe something)

Another approach would be some integration of the "content moderation" core module. We could have an "archived" state there. But how to show results but freeze votings? This would need some additional configuration for this situation.
An additional content type e.g. "archived" with its own configuration (write protected, field based) seems easier and better suited for pathauto, moderation state, metatag and so on.
