Hi,
I would like to hide all the topics from a certain user that have no replies? How could I do this?
We are using discourse at [https://www.fllcasts.com](https://www.fllcasts.com) (site). You can check out the live version at [https://discourse.fllcasts.com](https://discourse.fllcasts.com).
When a user visits a page at the site a comment section is showed below. We are embedding discourse below the pages. If a topic for this url does not exist a new topic is created at [https://discourse.fllcasts.com](https://discourse.fllcasts.com).
Problem is that we have a lot of new pages with empty comments(yet) and they are all showed on the front page of discourse.
I would like to hide all the topics from a certain user that have no replies? How could I do this?

There is a “hide from front page” category setting that I think will do almost what you want.

There is. Suppress this category from the homepage.
But is there “Suppress this category from the homepage if it is created by this user and it has no replies”.
Only the blank once created automatically should be suppressed in our case

There is not. I think the solution might be a plugin that moved those topics to a different category when the first reply is posted.

Dies könnte gelöst werden, indem Discourse-Webhooks und die API genutzt werden, um Themen beim ersten Veröffentlichen vorübergehend auszublenden und sie erst wieder sichtbar zu machen, sobald eine Antwort eingegangen ist. Dieser Ansatz ergibt besonders bei Discourse-Websites Sinn, auf die Nutzer auch von externen Seiten aus zugreifen können.
Das Discourse-WordPress-Plugin bietet eine Option, die ähnlich funktioniert.
