Add room permission to limit event to thread replies #334
Description
Your use case
What would you like to do?
Since we have the ability to create threads now, it would be really neat to have dedicated thread rooms in which you are only allowed to reply in an existing thread or open a new one.
Why would you like to do it?
This would allow for somewhat forum style rooms and could be utilized for job postings, community sell and buy rooms or similar use cases where want to take discussion about details away from the main timeline.
How would you like to achieve it?
The easiest step (from my point of view) in this direction would be to introduce a distinction between thread replies and other messages or replies and add an option to remove the permission to send replies outside of a thread. Then the only remaining "problem" would be that new threads naturally start as normal messages, so one could not disallow sending normal messages without removing the ability to start new threads. Although for some use cases it may be desirable that only moderators can start new threads but everyone should be able to reply in threads; this scenario would already be satisfied by my proposed change.
