OK, to recap, you were relying on:
Suppress from latest: only removing stuff from /latest topic list
Category mute: remove from /latest topic lists, remove from /categories and left hand panel showing categories.
We have had a lot of confusion around this feature:
I found a slight inconsistency in the UI that confused a user today. When you mute a subcategory, it is then hidden from the list in the parent category from Show subcategory list above topics in this category. For example, I muted advertising in the plugins category, if you then go to plugins, it is hidden:

But, on the main categories page it is still visible:

Super rare situation, but it seems to me that the category shouldn’t be hidden from view like this, or is it intend…
The top menu is configure like this:
[Captura%20de%20pantalla%20de%202019-05-01%2015-40-41]
The page style is configure like this:
[Captura%20de%20pantalla%20de%202019-05-01%2015-41-21]
so I have:
On The Left
Category-1 everyone can create/see/reply but Require moderator approval of all new topics
** sub-category-1 everyone can create/see/reply without restriction
** sub-category-2 everyone can create/see/reply without restriction
Category-2 everyone can create/see/reply but Require …
I muted two categories and it still appear on top of the categories page (since it have recent activity). Shouldn’t it be hidden or at the bottom? It’s more annoying when I use categories as home page. And “categories with featured topics” option even showing me muted category’s topics too. Also is it better to order categories by notification_level and then activity.
What would you like done?
When do you need it done?
asap
What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?
100$
I found this behavior somewhat unexpected:
Create category “Foo” with setting “suppress this category from homepage”
Create topic “Bar” in category “Foo”
Top menu is set to Latest | Categories | Unread
Topic “bar” is not shown on Latest, but is shown on Categories (so far so good).
In user preferences, select “Categories” as the homepage
Now, for that user, topic “bar” is shown on Latest but the entire Foo category is hidden on their Categories page.
I think it may improve things if there we…
We have a category, which creates lots of new topic because of embedding (topics are automatically created when a page with embedded Discussion is shown).

People are asking that this category should be suppressed from New topic. It can be suppressed form latest, but not from new. It would be nice to have a checkbox with “Suppress category from new topics”. (and RSS feed).
I am mixed on how to handle this. As it stands we have a system now that is incredibly easy to explain and provides end users with extreme flexibility. The old “suppress from latest” was not something a user could override and was hidden from users and magical.
Overall, we are going to have to wait on this now for at least 2 weeks to gather more feedback from the community.
