Now that we (and presumably many others?) are seeking to use discourse as a ticketing system, would the discourse team be willing to revisit this to allow the ability to accept the OP as a solution, as an admin option perhaps? There are many cases in my recent experience where I did not need to add a reply but still want to mark a topic or message solved.
