Default Private Forum Section?

So this is what I'm looking to do. Create a Forum Categroy/Section on my forum where people can post confidently/privately and only the staff can view their thread and post replies to it along with the original poster. I've been trying to find a setting in vbulletin for this or a mod but I haven't had any luck or I'm just blind lol. Any help with doing this or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I know dbtech currently has this for private questions on their products but I don't see a mod of theirs for it.

Anyways any help is appreciated. Thank you very much!
