1. When I type http://my\_site/posts.rss I see lot of “welcome” msg (the other admin change the settings on the panel admin to send it, insteed of @system) that are very annoying.
2. A user have a private conversation with a member of our team. This user click (by mistake) on “add user” adding the other admin on this PM and in `posts.rss` I can see this PM now.
I don’t know if this is a correct behaviour, by the way it’s confusing me. I wanna read posts nor our welcome messages, but especially not private ones.

Are you logged in as you? Try retrieving that RSS URL as an anonymous user.

Yep, like anonymous I see posts without PM.
The problem is that, in this way I have to login and logout a zillion time every day.
IMO it would be better if `posts.rss` never shows PM, even if I’m an admin. For those special messages I can see notifications (green bubble) and receive email.

I kind of disagree with you on this, it’s weird for a “public” stream of posts to mix in PMs, just because you passed in user credentials with the request.
Perhaps two independent RSS feeds would be a better solution.

Sure, if PM is for you. The problem is that I see PMs that are not for me.

Okay, we now have two two independent RSS feeds for public and private posts.
Public: [https://meta.discourse.org/posts.rss](https://meta.discourse.org/posts.rss)
Private (messages): [https://meta.discourse.org/private-posts.rss](https://meta.discourse.org/private-posts.rss)
