It wouldn’t be secure. And crafty users could circumvent it.

But what about a theme component that uses CSS to display none on a whisper created by Staff if current user is not staff? As for certain categories.

A similar logic could be used to on the whisper toggle in the gear menu to not display whisper button for said group if not categories you want them to be allowed to use whispers.

The Staff group would need to know not share things of a real sensitive/security need.

Something like this could be used as an interm workaround with caveats.
