I have already unlisted it, but it still bumps for admins.

Either way, it should be pinned in a certain category but not bumped whatsoever. But as I have already found out… it’s just not possible. Trying to find workarounds that require a compromise are not very useful to me. I’m ok with not using Discourse for such a use-case. It was just not built for this. That’s ok.
