[Schema.org](http://Schema.org) (the vocabulary) doesn’t require any properties.

Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool is not a [Schema.org](http://Schema.org) validator. The tool primarily tests if your use of [Schema.org](http://Schema.org) conforms to Google’s own requirements for showing one of their Rich Snippets (or similar features/products).

For more details [http://stackoverflow.com/a/33070334](http://stackoverflow.com/a/33070334). But still we can try to fulfill Google’s requirements.

I am not sure. But there are some options like below

- Article
  - SocialMediaPosting
    - [DiscussionForumPosting](https://schema.org/DiscussionForumPosting)

- [Comment](https://schema.org/Comment)
- [Answer](https://schema.org/Answer) - may be useful for [Solved](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-solved-accepted-answer-plugin/30155) plugin
