Maybe, and i know this is probably a huge amount of work, you could have an admin only /hiddenhelpfulanswers.php where there would be a table of posts that admin could visit to change the status or perform admin.

Unfortunately there's no way to use the default collapse system, hide the post by default and respect the cookie system. It's either expanded by default (like the forum home) or always collapsed on load.

What you're explaining is actually pretty simple to implement. Search engines can still see the posts as it's just javascript that hides them but google is pretty bright and the display:none; attribute may upset it, so it's definitely a good idea.

Would you see this being a user option or just an admin setting?
