There are plenty of `summary_...` settings available to customize that option 😉

What about a feature to auto-summarize long topics? For example, if a topic has more than 50 posts the users will see a summary of that topic?

This already exists, it’s called ‘Best Of’ mode and it displays the posts that have the most ‘interest’ (reading time, likes, replies, etc.)

We actually changed the name of this to “summarize” since it’s a better description of the feature:

Shows up automatically for topics with \>= 50 replies.

Resurrection!

Have you [thought of](http://discourse.codinghorror.com/t/please-read-the-comments/1393/127?u=cawas) adding a “_turn into Q&A_” _summarize button_, which would simply bring posts loved by OP?
