Bump 
We have a category with the Require moderator approval of all new topics setting applied:
Every single new topic that gets created requires moderator approval before it’s listed to the world - all good, a fantastic feature for us in our use case of this specific category.
Sadly, every single user who has their preferences set to watch the first topic of that category is receiving a notification of the new topic, before we’ve even approved it 
Worse still is that the notification naturally gives them a link to click on so they can not only see but also interact with the topic - defeating the whole point of the topic needing moderation
