No there is no way to hide your posts. Forums are public to all, meaning anything you post in the forums is also public for all to read.

A 'privacy' option like that would be misleading and give a false sense of security. When you make your profile private, or hide your inventory or games, those really are hidden. Forum posts, however, are always public. Even if post history was hidden, they could still be found via search engines. You're effectively closing the curtains but leaving the front door wide open.

You can give awards to screenshots, game reviews, artwork, videos, workshop items, guides, forums posts and profiles.
