[Idea] Regarding parent child visibility

As discussions progress, it is not uncommon for there to be a linear decrease in legibility. To combat this, the original format calls for the side shift of posts (to break the column and help anchor one's eyes to a certain post); however, when there are multiple responses linked to a single parent -- some with, some without, children of their own -- the readability greatly diminishes.

To resolve this; I suggest the implementation of auto-collapsed sub-discussions under certain parameters. Instead of just showing the parent of this discussion; however, show a short thesis as writ by that poster at the time of writing. This would evolve larger discussions into a format that would reciprocate the front page of the Platform; allowing for more efficient dissemination of information by the reader and promotes better writing on part of the respondents by giving them a thesis around which to build their response.

I am not familiar with the language used for websites, so my example is in pure logical form:

If child greater-than-or-equal-to ___, then collapse discussion. Hyperlink text equal to thesis title

To even better promote visibility; expand very large sub-discussions in a new window (child greater than or equal to 10)much like the formatting options, rather than a full tab. This all may lead to a "rabbit hole effect", but I feel that it would drastically improve legibility an organization for readers coming to an already busy discussion [see. Yasuo a.m.a. on Reddit]

The thesis should be character bounded to the same number of characters as normal discussion titles. They are meant as a sub-title to capture the entire theme of the discussion. Of course, there will be many times in the course of the platform when the intent for a discussion will go ignored, but these cases happen even with the current system whereby posters post completely non-sequitur comments that gain traction.
