For this we have [hide]text[/hide] shortcode now (we’re on phpBB currently, gonna migrate soon) that hides text from guests by default. But also authors can specify how many posts users should have to see their hidden text. Like this: [hide=200]text[/hide]. It’s very handy for givaways and it would be cool to have this functional in Discourse. Otherwise I’ll have to…

But not wanting to write a Dialect plugin, would prefer an Admin UI that would do it.
