Hi JonnyGamer! 🙂 You’ve thought a lot about addressing this! I think it’s not available in the forum where we are — but there’s a feature where Discourse automatically summarises long topics to show the “most interesting” posts, calculated according to post read time, number of likes etc

You can see this in long topics ([random example of a long topic here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/improving-the-groups-page-for-1-7/53347), there is a Summarize This Topic button at the end of the first post)

But having votes is an interesting idea & marking important posts on the scrollbar 😃
