Just curious, does this mod let the ability of "only the specified users can post to the thread, but everyone (with forum access permission) can still view it"?

Basically, I see full private as being something more left to PMing, so I wanna use this to let members control who can post to their thread, but still allow everyone else to view the thread.

Is there a way to make the first post visible to all and only the replies to make them private?

Has there been any activity in this mod? I would like to use Tapatalk on my board, but the security of the private threads is being violated. I need to figure out what I need to do in the tapatalk search.php so that the private threads are respected.
