Please provide some clues (best existing plugin for starting point) to develop a plugin that will display posts/comments to users _only_ if

1) they created the topic or

2) a tag in the topic is for:user_name

ps: of course, “for:” can be anything (using the same concept as in del.icio.us)

That’s an intruiging concept, I like it. It’s not an easy endeavour because you have to remove topics from the listings, counts and RSS (and not only stop users actually looking inside the topic). The Private Forums plugin has to do that too, so perhaps that’s a good starting point.

Of course, people can do what they want, but I don’t think this is an appropriate use of tags. Some plugin that added a text input field to the posting form and used the topic meta table to store the option would be better.

mmm… I was hoping that there is 1 ( central ) filter *after reading tables* which could be implemented..

I managed to write the plugin myself (on top of WP) and had to make several more changes too
