Test post #2 is uncategorised, thus not subject to any controls. (The other test post there requires logging in to see.)

This smells [of this bug](https://meta.discourse.org/t/admin-mods-can-post-to-uncategorized-with-allow-uncategorized-topics-disabled/26469) where if the category isn’t changed, the post gets dumped into `Uncategorised` for admins even if such posts are not supposed to be allowed.

Unchecking `allow_uncategorized_topics` (which has been done on @nickjharrington’s site and mine ) normally should disallow non-admins from viewing, but doesn’t appear to in this instance…

For example [https://what.thedailywtf.com/t/sign-here-please/48904](https://what.thedailywtf.com/t/sign-here-please/48904) is in `uncategorised` on mine and shows the “You need to log in screen”"

[http://magistrates.today/t/test-post-2-for-security-testing/56](http://magistrates.today/t/test-post-2-for-security-testing/56) on the other hand is also `uncategorised` but doesn’t require a login.

I can only think that there’s another site setting that I can’t find that’s different between the two sites…
