Limit who can post on a topic

Limiting Posters in a Thread: Neil_Aggarwal proposes a feature to allow thread starters to limit who can post in a thread. This would be useful in scenarios like his, where a game thread was disrupted by a non-player’s post. JammyDodger suggests the Restricted Replies plugin, which allows staff to restrict replies on topics to the topic creator and specific groups, but doesn’t fully meet Neil’s requirements since it’s a category-level setting.

I am a member of forums.online-go.com

One section of the forum is for people to play interactive games using the forum to communicate their play and the game state.

I started a thread for a game. The thread specifically states only players may post in the thread, but someone ignore that and posted in the thread anyway. Even worse, they made a statement about the future state of the game.

I would like to have a function where the thread starter can limit who is able to post on a thread. That will be very useful this scenario and could very well be useful for others.

I don’t want to use private threads since it is interesting for other forum members to follow the game as it progresses.
