Option to hide the status box on the dashboard for other roles than admin
You can change the widget visibility in Settings → Link Checker → Advanced.

Yes, a custom role for broken link checker perhaps?

Love this plugin - but now that I'm trying to encourage subscribers to feel part of the community, and have theme-my-login'ed their profiles, the only widget that appears on the dashboard is... Broken Link Checker! Which is like washing your dirty laundry in public.
