Is there a way to hide all posts for a specific user (without deleting them). The use case is to temporarily hide them until a legal issue is resolved after which then can be un-hidden. That’s why I don’t simply want to delete them.
AI-generated summary
The discussion is about hiding all posts from a specific user without deleting them, as requested by Isambard. nolo suggested searching for the user’s posts, then batch editing and unlisting them. However, nolo noted that unlisted topics can be difficult to find again. Isambard clarified that he wants to hide individual posts within a topic, not entire topics. Moin and Jagster emphasized that the goal is to hide posts for everyone, not just the individual user. Mevo suggested modifying the theme to hide posts, and opcourdis proposed using a CSS class to hide both official communication and opinions. CocoQuark shared that the search parameter include:unlisted can be used to find unlisted topics, and also mentioned the status:unlisted parameter in the /filter route.

though actually, there’s a funny quirk: how do you find those topics again? 
An Unlisted filter was discussed in the topic below. Seems it was never added after all?

This hides an entire topic, right? I was thinking of hiding posts within a topic.

I think this topic is not about how to hide posts for yourself, but how to hide them for everyone. Isambard asked for an alternative to deleting the posts.
Sorry sliding towards off topic, but we are supposed to see their official communication regarding a forum. Not their personal opinions.
Big difference.
Right, and it’s almost 1 year old… @opcourdis solution would probably work by modifying the theme. Posts would still be there, it would only target the display of them. Users could see them by manually doing the opposite on their end, tho.
The age doesn’t matter… It is open feature request 
Yes that is what I meant by the use of the word communication but with the css class that I proposed here, you would hide both their official communication inside a topic(like why they choose to close it) & their opinion as well
The search parameter include:unlisted was added.
It’s listed here Searching for content effectively
The parameter is not listed in the advanced search options.
You can also use the /filter route (which I think is not an experimental setting anymore) and the status:unlisted parameter
