I posted this in the Dev section because I do not think such a plugin exists. If I’m wrong, I would love to be corrected. I would like to create a Discourse plugin that allows ‘secret’ text in the midst of a post. This would enable Play by Post RPG games where players interact privately without req…

Why not just use the two forms of existing spoiler text? Or link to other topics in categories that only those people have access to.

If the game pits the players against each other, they will be tempted to cheat and look. And if they AREN’T pit against each other, they’ll peek and argue they aren’t cheating. :slight_smile: In other words, I want only those intended to read it to be able to. In short, that’d be extremely unwi…

Can a plugin extend the post model to include a ‘secret’ flag to indicate which posts need preprocessing? You’d need to also patch any updating to set the secret flag, but that doesn’t sound too awful. edit: and how slow would it actually be? Is Ruby’s regex in Ruby or C?
