> This is useful especially for forums where a lot of conversations happen in whisper and a staff user ends up posting something and later wants to hide or show the post to non-staff users.

There’s a potential leak here whereby some users can still visibly see the whispered posts.

Steps to replicate:

1. Without whispering, reply direct to _or_ quote a user in a post/reply
2. Change the post to a whisper
3. The @mentioned / @quoted user can still visibly see the whispered post
