[Discussions] Canvas Discussions: Lock threads until a post is made

[jim_shaffer1]

Often as an instructor, I want to post a series of threaded questions for students to reply to.   This keeps discussions organized and allows student/instructor choice.     When these questions are posted, I want students to respond before seeing the responses of others.

The problem is that the "User must post before seeing replies" is tied to the discussion, not the thread, so students can't even see my threads until they reply.  I would love to see the ability to allow students to see those threads but not see the replies to each thread until they respond.
