Inadvertent flood of emails / notifications when attempting to silently move Topics between categories

@zogstrip I don’t see test coverage for this case.

In my reading, the describe "silent option" specs only cover the scenarios where the topic being moved is already watched.

The case being described here is for the scenario where the destination category is “watched” or “watching first post”.

@nathank, to my knowledge, we’ve never done that silently.

I think what’s going on here is that the modal for the feature we did add makes it sound like that should also be silenced. I think we’ve shifted expectations with this modal and now we’re not meeting them.

That’s my hunch anyway.

I think this is a legitimate Feature or UX request, and I fully support doing it. But I don’t think it’s technically a bug or a regression.
