I just came across this myself - there seem to be a handful of things to keep in mind with whispers, and this is one of them. I was hoping to be able to use solved whispers as a part of my use of discourse as a ticket system. Often I want to mark tickets (discourse messages or topics with ticket tags) complete without informing the person the ticket is about..

[[Accepted answer plugin] Add an ability to accept the initial (topmost) post as a solution](https://meta.discourse.org/t/accepted-answer-plugin-add-an-ability-to-accept-the-initial-topmost-post-as-a-solution/56393) could work for this but does not now.

An alternative to this seems to be making it possible to indicate whispers as the solution without exposing the whisper to non-staff. Maybe this is even a better solution in any case because then it forces us to actually write a note to explain the outcome. ☀
