A College was using this discourse feature ( anonymous emails to a specific category) for posting homeworks/support requests to a specifc category managed by teaching staffs.

Recently they have started getting spam posts to this email id and we have to revoke this feature.

Discourse is adopted in the college with positive feedback. Like I mentioned at the top, they badly need this feature.

This can be achieved by the below feature

> [@Poll: Who needs "create only" category type](https://meta.discourse.org/t/poll-who-needs-create-only-category-type/23140):
>
> Yes I need. No. I dont need. If you think about it, it solves lot many usecases like to contact list of moderators / admins without private message helpdesk for customers in SAAS / any organization talk to your CEO / ombudsman kind of scenarios for internal usage in orgs for personalized training / q & a among introvert audience.

I like to know if this feature will be implemented in the near future. Are there any known problems or side effects of this feature ?
