Easy Discuss as Commenting system with moderation

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the update on this thread , as it was Komento thread, i'm reposting in Easy Discuss Thread.

Using Komento is out of question now for me because of moderation limitations. As a fall back i'm exploring Easy discuss now.

The work flow i plan is as below:

1) Create a category with rights of creating thread only to super user
2) Create 6000 threads as super user (So that these threads act as articles)
3) Allow comments and discussions on the above fixed 6000 threads
4) No Member is allowed to create a new thread, they are only allowed to comment with the help of ACL in ED or permissions in category

Now I had two questions:
1) If i create these fixed 6000 threads, they show the author details on the left with avatar, PM & link to easysocial profile. Is there anyway i can remove this only for the author of the post. (There would be no new authors, only comentors). The avatar and PM of comentors is needed.

2) Is there anyway i can insert PHP code in the post? (In joomla articles i had Sourcerer triggering the variable which was stored in the article to showcase the current price of the stockmarket) But in Easy discuss form if i enter sourcerer tag it breaks the site.

I know its a hack, but basically because of Kommento moderation limitations, ED is the best choice for me to achieve discussions.

looking forward for your advise, if needed i can open a ticket as well.

regards
