Hi there, I have a long-time user that is requesting temporary removal of all of their topics due to a specific personal reason. If their situation changes those topics could be restored in the future. While they are in the removed state the topics should not be publicly accessible even if somebody …

It sounds like what the OP is wanting is something similar to vBulletin’s Global Ignore feature. If you aren’t familiar, it basically keeps all of a user’s posts and topics in place, but makes them unavailable to non-staff accounts until they are removed from the list. It’s one of the few vB featur…

Thanks to everyone for their replies. [immagine] maiki: This use case is not common, no one has asked for a feature to turn users non-public and back again. Right. I understand that it’s an uncommon request. I wouldn’t expect Discourse to necessarily implement an entire process for that. But…

That is indeed interesting. Although I don’t think it would be enough in this particular case if it had “see this hidden post” links or if the post content was CSS hidden in the HTML. For what I need the former URL should throw a 404 for non-staff.

In effect that’s basically the same as shadowbanning right? :wink: [immagine] Discourse Shadowban Plugin warning That plugin was built in an afternoon. Expect bugs The last resort for dealing with trolls that just won’t go away https://github.com/notridd…

I don’t think that plugin is working at the moment but maybe someone else can confirm.

Folks can decide if they want to put together a #feature topic; Global Ignore is an interesting feature for vB, but it doesn’t seem like a useful tool for me per se. I run mostly small sites where we all know each other. Which got me thinking, @rahim123 , I don’t presume to understand why you are ac…

In this case I’m going to honor the user’s request given the details of the particular situation. I proceeded with the deletion. The deleted topics will remain indefinitely in the database, correct? No automatic hard deletion? If/when needed I can access the list of deleted topics with: /filter?q…
