You Should Be Able To Create Topics At Every Level
You should be able to create topics at every level. If someone isn't at level five, and what they have to say doesn't relate to any topic, they should be able to create one. Just thinking of that now.
Answer
The system that users must reach a certain level before creating topics is to prevent trolls or new users who are unaware of the rules from creating topics that break the site rules. Waiting until they reach level fives provides them with the time to get accustomed to the rules of the site.
If they wish for a topic to be created a certain way, they can always ask another user and describe what they would like.
In the past it was possible to create topics at any level, but as Kayte says, then it is to prevent trolling. It doesn't take long to get to level 5, so it shouldn't really be a problem.
