Unfortunatly IPS doesn't have such a feature where you can define the other user groups, but you're able to show the topics only to the author and staff members(moderators)
 

The metadata field isn't unused, it's used by the meta data system, which in fact is perfect for your use case! 
You could create an application with a proper meta data extension for topics to flag the topic:) 
You can find more information about the feature in our dev guides: 
 

You can use the search to get all members from a group in the frontend, and you can either use the member list filter or just click on the number of members on the groups list in the ACP to get the list of all members from a group. 

Hi,
the pages database templates are located in your ACP => Pages => Templates.

There are at least 2 different ways to accomplish this which I've mentioned here:  
Depending on the ammount of fields you want to store, you could either use an own database table or a setting to store the data.

We fixed recently a bug which caused the los of the redirect after the login process.
This should be resolved in the next release.

Please submit a ticket and we’ll take a look 

Short update on the issue: This is indeed a limitation which we've just noticed ourself, We're looking at this right now and investigating possible solutions.
In the meanwhile I would suggest to stop using the interface directory at all, and instead use controllers for the PHP logic and official CDNs or the application resource system for any other files.
 
I'm going to explain this further in the upcoming September Marketplace Recap topic which will be published on Monday.
 
 

There's a handy tool in our marketplace which is able to generate the proxy classes and dozen other autocomplete providers for phpStorm
 

Thx, I have fixed this for an upcoming release.

Thanks, I have fixed this for an upcoming release.

Downloading the pending version update isn't logged as download.
And if you take a look at the file, you'll see that he posted a new version while the file was waiting for approval

Via ticket ask for the deletion of the pending version.

It’s not enough to include the init.php , you also need to initialize the dispatcher . 

Don't forget that Records "doesn't exist", it's just a virtual class used to create the real implementation aka Records1, Records2 ( the Database ID is attached to the classname), this means you need to use the proper record class name. Instead of \IPS\cms\Records it's going to be \IPS\cms\Records1 ( replace 1 with your database id ) 
 

I can confirm any_time(which I have fixed for 4.5), but nothing else from your list was duplicate for me.
 

I would suggest to use the MemberSync extension which will be called literally always when a member is created/edited/deleted
