Disable the right to view a thread.

Hi,

I was just wondering if it's possible to disable a member's right to view someone else's thread. If so, what would be the condition? <~

Forums can be set to be viewed as certain usergroups only, but members can't do it themselves. It involves administrator powers, and I doubt we'll have forums for certain usergroups outside of the staff forums. And I'm pretty sure it can't be done on a thread-by-thread basis.

If, for some reason, you don't want a certain member to post in your thread, you can ask them politely, especially if it's something like a fan club or a shop you've made. However, you can't do anything to stop them from viewing it. Even if you ask them not to (which I think is a little crazy, to be honest), there's no way to catch them anyway, unless the member blabs about it. If it's private information you want to post, send it over PM, not in a public thread.

Huh... Okay, I'll give an example, first (Fake example...):

Someone stole some ideas from a thread that I created. And this member keeps on stealing my ideas, from that thread. And finally, it's getting quite annoying.

There wouldn't be an option or is it the same answer?

No, there's no option. Although it's unfortunate that this is happening (or something like that), it's just too much work to block one member from one thread. All you can do is ask the member to stop stealing your ideas or whatever goes on.

Oh... Oh well. Thanks for the information. :3
