Hi and welcome to elkarte!
As far as I know, you can't set permissions for spoiler, and you can't choose which membergroups can view links. It requires custom coding. There is an add-on that only hides links for guests.
With permission you can set an entire board to only some membergroups.

I see, thanks!
Anyway I'll try to rewrite the plugin in such way to hide link for users having karma less or equal certain value not only the guest user themself.

My experience of foruming is that such things tend to be very divisive and counter-productive to forum communities.
Blocking off content to people with lower karma doesn't help them become better contributors - all it does is produce cliques within the community where they will inevitably just up-vote each other to keep their own ratings high, and newer contributors can't get in easily. Plus it becomes all too easy for someone to be hounded out of a community if content they previously had access to is hidden after a campaign of downvoting.

Simple approach is assigning board access to allowed group. This is a default feature.

Hello all!
Yep, I got the points and opinions,
so another newbie's question come to scene: is ElkArte successor of SMF forum engine?
How much it codebase differs from SMF in that case?
