Description

In the forums we have a "hidden group"
yet by a click of a button this are viewable by anyone.

i can see good reasons for having a "hidden" group. But surely these should be viewable by admins and mods only?

or is there something i am missing?

Hidden threads are to hide them from the people, rather from indexing bots and first-time users.

They can just contain some crap like SPAM and such things, not really interesting to every user. But if someone IS interested they can read this.

Hope this clarifies a bit.

thanks Gabrys for the clarification. Would you object if i said i felt that it should be available to mods and admins only ?
