Currently, XenForo let's us restrict thread prefixes usage by user group using the "Usable by user groups" option. I’d like to see an option "Visible to user groups" setting for thread prefixes.
This would allow admins to control which thread prefixes are visible to specific user groups, not just who can use them. The key use case is enabling user-driven content filtering based on interests or roles.
An administrator could create user groups such as:
Each group could be tied to specific thread prefixes (e.g., "Debate", "Question", "Article"). A user could choose which group(s) they join based on the type of content they want to see.
When a thread is created with a particular prefix (e.g., “Debate”), it would only appear to users in the corresponding group (e.g., "Debate group").
