For those of you who want an easy way of hiding this bbcode and you DONT use any other custom bbcode follow this:
Goto your editor_toolbar_on template and look for

<if condition="$vBeditTemplate['extrabuttons'] != '' ">
				<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td><td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td><td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>	
				$vBeditTemplate[extrabuttons]
			</if></if></tr></div>
			</tr>
			</table>

and replace that whole section with this

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)"><if condition="$vBeditTemplate['extrabuttons'] != '' ">
				<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td><td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td><td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>	
				$vBeditTemplate[extrabuttons]
			</if></if></tr></div>
			</tr>
			</table>
			</if>

It's just wrapped in an IF conditional that allows mods and admins to see the custom bbcode buttons. I have added (some time ago) extra bbcode buttons to the original ones like #, you can use an IF conditional for them this way too and still allows you to have custom bbcode.
