Can forum-managers / community managers please implement permission for OP’S to reply manually to each of the OP’S original post’s contributors? (i.e., I can’t reply to the valued opinions and feedback to more than one person at a time until another one posts to my OP)…In this case, I have many replies however, I can’t respond holistically because after I replied once to ONE reply, the other 12 replies were not accessible…)
To prevent exploitation:
1) This feature will naturally create more traffic in posts but that will cause a reduction in bump-fraud.
2) Posts that truly remain open and replied to by organically-manifested demand, will remain open and draw the attention to like-minded players or be opposed by naturally born opposition.
