does this information in the includes/functions_showthread.php file mean anything in regards to what I am trying to do?

PHP Code:

// hide users in Coventry from non-staff members
    if ($tachyuser = in_coventry($post['userid']) AND !can_moderate($thread['forumid']))
    {
        return;
    }

    $counter ++;

    exec_switch_bg();

    $post = array_merge($post, convert_bits_to_array($post['options'], $_USEROPTIONS));

    if (!$vboptions['allowthreadedmode'])
    {
        $threadedmode = 0;
    }
