If someone is doing something during their work that their boss has disallowed then it seems like even if you think it should be allowed you should just not do it.  
I might not be understanding this correctly though.

I don’t think that is true.  
While other forum software has a feature to hide your online status for the Private Message function, I don’t think any of them have a way to hide when a post was made.  
It’s a requirement of forum post that they have a date attached to them so they be kept track of.
