Is there an option or has there consideration been a consideration made for…
hiding (temporarily) all content posted by a single user
?
At some-point all content posted by a user will need review and editing to remove personal details. Until that time I would like to ensure the content is hidden from everybody except moderators and admins.
The reason is that one user is struggling with a real-life “stalker”.
Whilst the majority of the content this user has posted is not in the public facing part of the site (so no Google cached results / archive), in some cases simply signing up for an account would provide access to user posts which are in need of review.

Yes, I would like that feature certainly! 
I am not sure I entirely follow, why not just delete the user so all the content is withdrawn for sure?
- Immediate action is sometimes important
- user safety
- I can imagine legal issues are important for other communities
- Deletion is not an action that can be committed to immediately when:
- multiple parties are involved
- a review process needs to take place
- Hiding the content is an action which:
- could take place immediately
- could be undone if on review the moderators or admins
I proposed this as a feature request because this would have been very handy today.
- Only public facing content needed to be reviewed
- All private categorised content needed to be kept.
- If the feature existed I or a moderator could have pressed one button, hidden the user content and I could have gotten on with my day.
I don’t have any pressing need for this feature now - hopefully this kind of situation won’t arise again.
