Resolution

The Answered scenario can be achieved using the IDataEvent:
Sitefinity documentation, IDataEvent http://docs.sitefinity.com/for-developers-idataevent

When a new post is created, check the post Thread parent and how many posts it has at this moment. If it is one or more, then the current post will be the second one and it should be marked as answered. Example Code:

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Bootstrapper.Initialized += this.Bootstrapper_Initialized;
}

private void Bootstrapper_Initialized(object sender, Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "Bootstrapped")
    {
        EventHub.Subscribe<IDataEvent>(Content_Action);
    }
}

private void Content_Action(IDataEvent @event)
{
    var action = @event.Action;
    var contentType = @event.ItemType;
    if (contentType.FullName == typeof(ForumPost).FullName)
    {
        var itemId = @event.ItemId;
        var providerName = @event.ProviderName;
        var manager = ManagerBase.GetMappedManager(contentType, providerName);
        var item = manager.GetItemOrDefault(contentType, itemId);

        if (item != null && action == "New")
        {
            // custom logic here
        }
   }
}
