XF 2.1 Possible to use group permissions to blanket hide users' posts?

[Monkeytime]

Is it possible to make a group labelled "hide from normal registered users" and somehow set user or node permissions so that when I put a user in the group, all their posts are hidden from view from regular users? Including search results.

And conversely, give the view permission to moderators? It's not important (necessary) to hide their public profile or post counts. I already have a banner assigned to this circle of users, and was planning to export their posts to a single node, but I'd prefer not to. I have very few nodes, so some manual work on node permissions is ok to accomplish this.

A mod suggestion is fine too. Thank you.

I don’t think I’ve seen an addon to do such a thing. What is your use case for this?

Wait, either of these should work for you:

[TH] Global Ignore

About this add-on This add-on is designed to place the troublesome users on a global ignore list. After they have been added on global ignore, all their posts and threads will go to the moderation queue, but they will appear as normal to them...

Legal considerations. Thank you for the mod recommendations. Will check them out.

Seems the TH one is only for XF1

Update. I have successfully used AddonFlare's Ignore/Block to do this. It is essentially a perfect fit for this use case.
