Not a drawback as far as I’m concerned. If I see SPAM - it’s gone. Asking for private help - sorry, start a Topic, Something related to the forum that they’re too shy to voice openly - help them

That indeed could be a messy thing to code

Moderators can always Invite other Mods, Admins don’t need an Invite

??? sorry, I don’t know what you mean by that

Anyway, what you are describing is having a category acting as a PM  
And I don’t know, but it seems getting it to be visible to only the OP and Mods would likewise be messy to code.

We have opted for a more explicit “you can reply to this Welcome PM” for the time being and put the concern on the back burner.
