oh, i'd love to use this! however, after quickly skimming the directions to implement, there's a lot of changes to be made… i would love this to be made into a plugin.

There is a plugin available that acheives much the same result:

http://www.furbona.org/viewlevel.html
The major distinction with the plugin, though, is that restricted posts are pulled from the database but then not displayed to the user. My modification changes the actual database calls, ensuring that restricted posts aren't ever requested form the database. On a high-volume site (or a lower-powered one) I suspect my modification will produce better performance, since only data that is used is fetched from the database. Wyzewoman's plugin method will result in wasted database calls and wasted memory consumption.
