It is not configurable, but I have seen a similar request recently here:

> We combine setting a topic to solved with auto-closing it after a certain time. When a staff member accepts the solution, it will be closed by that staff member. When a topic owner who is not staff accepts the solution, it will be closed by system. Is there a way to always have the member that accepted the solution show up as the latest poster? Right now it’s confusing to members why this system icon comes up on their solved topics.

Will this solve your issue? @kris.kotlarek will be working on it over the next few weeks.
