Sorry, let me be a bit more explicit about what we plan. (going to call this whisper)

### New Site Settings

- Allow staff to create whisper posts globally
- Allow users to create whisper posts globally

### New per category

- Allow staff to create whisper posts
- Allow users to create whisper posts

### If whisper is enabled show in composer

`[] Post is Hidden`

- Hidden posts are visible by the Author of the post and Staff

* * *

This allows for 2 use cases quite flexibly.

1. Allow end users to share information with staff right in the stream
2. Allow staff to discuss stuff with other staff right in the stream

Whisper will be treated VERY close to the way we treat “deleted” posts. In fact I am thinking the cleanest implementation is something that layers on top of deleted.
