We do not have a feature for this, and I do not believe there are currently any plugins for this either.

You can use the [Discourse Canned Replies](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-canned-replies/48296) plugin to save commonly used replies, but you would need to send it manually each time.

We had a conversation on email but it’s best we keep it here.

A year ago, I’ve developed a plugin that can hide content unless replied to the thread. You can find it here: [GitHub - erickguan/discourse-reply-required · GitHub](https://github.com/fantasticfears/discourse-reply-required)

It allows a special markup like `[reply-required][/reply-required]` to encapsulate a content. The content reveals until the user replies to the thread. But it doesn’t hide information to search engines.

Along the way, I felt it’s cumbersome to design it even I had a client who used it extensively. Mainly reasons are:

1. Visual clutter and has nothing to do with cultivating community, even though it looks like people engage.
2. It takes quite effort to hide the information. And it takes more time to even load content. How does that benefit to community since content is the key.

For the very same reason, we have stopped to invest on it.

Despite the story, the plugin can be tweaked to work.

I would be happy to customize that if you had supported the development of this open source plugin. This is unique use case.

안녕하세요, 이 기능을 수행할 수 있는 솔루션이나 플러그인이 있을까요?  
숨겨진 내용을 보려면 "좋아요"나 답글이 필요한 것과 같은 기능 말이에요.

[GitHub - fantasticfears/discourse-reply-required](https://github.com/fantasticfears/discourse-reply-required)  
이것은 현재 릴리스 버전에서 작동하지 않습니다.
