How do I clear "UNANSWERED QUESTION" red flag.

As a seller with a shop and listings which don't really end, is there a way to clear the "UNANSWERED QUESTION" red flag on messages that don't require a reply, most of the time I just say "thank you" and explain about the red flag thing but it wastes a lot of time and I think it may even be annoying to some customers who have an extreme politeness compulsion.
