My take is AstonJ would like something like

Cat - user has perms  
Subcat - user does not have perms  
Subcat has 3 (or more) newer posts than the Cat does  
Instead of showing the user blank, show the recent posts from the Cat

Likely to need some fancy coding to do, but might be possible I guess
