The management team here wants a discussion board in SharePoint that will allow <b>all employees to post questions</b> related to just about anything regarding the organization. &nbsp;That's easy enough. &nbsp;But, management also wants only themselves to be the ones whom can reply. &nbsp;This is understandable because they don't want just anyone to be able to respond to a question about what the current company benefits are, for instance.<br />
<br />
In short, I want all to be able to be able to create a new discussion but only a small group of people to be able to reply.<br />
<br />
I thought I might be able to do this with permissions or views, but I just don't see a way to do it.<br />

Any ideas? &nbsp;I am using Office365 SharePoint
