It would be nice if we could hide the posts and when someone replied to show them the post.
There used to be a mod for that, I don't know if its still available: https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=search;basic_search=hide
However, such features didn't (and still don't) have the expected result as it encouraged users to reply anything but a useful reply in order to bypass the restriction.
Wow okay thanks you 8)
