I disagree, I’ll come back to this in a moment 🙂

Granted, that may well be the case and we will probably do as you suggest or simply post our drafts in the Staff category and go from there 👍🏻

So coming back to the issue of this being a bug or not…

I don’t quite understand how the issue of [Unlisted topics become listed via references - #9 by codinghorror](https://meta.discourse.org/t/unlisted-topics-become-listed-via-references/61243/9)_was_ seen as a bug and the issue we have here of Unlisted topics being leaked by notification to some users, is any different?

The concern is the same, unlisted topics are announcing / revealing themselves in certain situations.
