Imagine you have a support category. Is there a way to let anyone create a support topic but only allow the original posted and moderators/staff access to reply?

The problem we are running into is that users create a support request but the community muddys up the request with random posts in an effort to resolve it. Often times it confuses the original poster with so many responses.

Asking for a model where:  
Everyone - see & create  
Only the op + group x (mod, staff + selected users) can reply.
