We frequently do this to help avoid misinformation - our forum is for a mobile app, we need to be careful with users requesting support so they get the best experience with their first point of contact 🙂

Being able to control who can reply would be beneficial for some objective categories, such as in this case. We already make extensive use of groups and PMs for handling a large percentage of our support (including email-based support), and it works a charm, it’s just the people that choose to request support publicly that may not be getting the most accurate information the first time around. Appreciate your input, Jay!
