There is now a discourse-policy plugin that we use for this purpose internally, when there is a “must have acknowledged official SOC2 security policy” topic posted.

Indeed.

I’m not a heavy user of multiple chat applications, but I like how Riot.im shows the little avatars of users in the last comment they read. This gives every member of a room a good idea of who has read what, without requiring anyone to do anything other than reading.

This is an overkill for an entire Discourse forum, but for the use case of groups (and especially those providing support / relying on quick coordinated actions) it would be a very nice touch. But yeah, not trivial to implement, I guess.

(The “Seen by anmol” tooltip appears when you place the mouse pointer on top of an avatar.)

생계유지를 위해서요.  
그런 상황에 처해본 적이 없다면 정말 운이 좋은 소수의 사람들입니다. 😉
