I didnt understand why you dont want to change their usergroup(you could create a replica usergroup anyway) but here is the hack:

Edit newthread.php and newreply.php, find:

PHP Code:

 // auto bypass queueing for admins/mods 


Before that add:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==X)  {$visible=0;} 


Replace X with the userid of the user..

If you want to moderate more than 1 user, the code is:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==X OR $bbuserinfo[userid]==Y)  {$visible=0;} 


Enjoy..
