I don’t have much idea 😁 and shouldn’t say anything, but what came to me was maybe try `"listed"` column and set to `false`? at least something to try until someone else sees 😁 (or I find something while peeking around)

Edit: I think I can see things like `closed`, `visible`, `enabled`, `archived`, `disabled` and `autoclosed` in [/apps/models/topic\_status\_update.rb](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/models/topic_status_update.rb) but again, I have no idea 🙂
