Disable reply option on every new topic users create

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around disabling the reply option for users when creating new topics in Discourse. Alergic_Alb seeks a way to allow users to create topics but not reply, noting that removing the reply permission also removes the create permission. pfaffman and merefield suggest reviewing category permissions and consider limiting topic creation to a specific group. pfaffman proposes using CSS to hide the reply button. Alergic_Alb resolves the issue using the Discourse Restricted Replies plugin, with Lilly adding a reference to the plugin’s documentation.

Hello,

I have installed recenlty discourse and im not finding a way how to disable reply option by default with any kind of option, i want users to create topic only, but not to reply on it.

Please help me out

Understanding groups and category permissions (security settings)

I have check this point, but when you remove Reply option, it auto removes Create option too.

Interesting forum you have or are you using the Discourse platform for a different purpose than discussion?

Are you asking for every user having the right to Create topics but no-one can comment on them?

Is it not enough just give the rights to Create Topics to a limited set of users (who have the discipline not to reply) and everyone else just has read access?

btw, good to use search, this was already asked here:

Sorry, I misunderstood your use case. What is your use case?

You could hide the reply button with CSS, I imagine.

I fixed issue with this plugin.
Thanks for help anyway
