If it is just you that wants to be able to view it then probably the easiest way is to soft delete the post

'soft delete' ?

It is a post I find interesting but about a subject that I don't want my board to be a focus of (dark web type stuff actually ). so I thought it'd be handy for me to have it there and the guy who posted he's alright, not doing me any harm, just providing links, so don't want to delete his account...

If you don't want to delete the post, then move it to a forum only you have access to.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.
