This would be more for support posts or report posts.

Let’s say there’s a support section. You want to post a support request, but you don’t want the world to see your private info, or if it’s a report – you don’t want to stir up drama by showing A reported B.

I’ve seen this before in old phpbb long ago and it works well:

Have an extra set of permissions to allow to create / see / create **(self only)**. You could only see your own posts. Then normally in my demo situation, you’d add a 2nd (existing) permission for create / see / create (all)

EDIT: It would probably be more clear and consistent to name them:

**Create / Reply / See (All)**  
**Create / Reply / See (Self)**

This proposal is for two new permission sets: Create, and Create/See. Both of these could be used in “fringe” forums where confidentiality or experience is required. These won’t be used on all the Discourse forums in existence, but the ones that could/want to use something li…
