Hi @blake, thanks to the fast answers!

This would be an option too, however in this case I would still have the problem of the user bumping posts to the top when answering right? Or is there a way in Discourse itself to force posts sorted by `created_at`?

Well, the other option would be to created a small server side application and sort the posts there, however this would be a uglier solution. The other option we’re thinking is to use a blog application and use Discourse only for comments, however the client would like to use Discourse itself to post new topics because he likes the interface.
