I am trying to use this in conjunction with your application form extension. I want to have a forum where only the topic author/applicant and admin can read the topics, so the application can be discussed on the forum but not visible to all forum members. Is there a modification I can do to this mod to allow the author to ignore the "Can view topics" permission?
Ideally I would also like to hide all topics in the forum from all but the original poster, to keep application submissions more anonymous.
