[Idea] To reduce clutter without losing discussion.

So, in the chatroom in the game client, the Idea was brought forth to minimize all but root replies upon loading a page. I wanted to expand on this a bit. I think that is a fine Idea, but it needs a few tweaks.

Firstly, in order to reply, you should be able to click once to display all the direct child posts to that reply. That way if someone else has said what you were going to say anyways, you could simply upvote/elaborate by replying to them, which would work the same exact way.

Secondly, Links to a specific reply should show all the direct child posts to be visible, but any replies to those should be minimized.

Essentially, make each reply like its own topic within the thread, and only show the direct replies until the user clicks to reply. Then let the topic fold outwards from there.
