Keeps cropping up in my feed on participated threads, but I can't view it :/

    It is used by us forum staff for cleaning up odd posts.

    So if you double post or ask for something to be deleted it will be moved to there.

    Means we can recover it much easier than if it was just deleted.

    It is in a hidden forum though, hence why you cannot access it.

    Oh ok, I'm not actually that bothered with it showing up, I turn the notifications on my phone off anyway, it's just I saw it once before and was going to ask about it but I forgot...

    Either way, don't go out of your way to solve it appearing in the feed for my sake, I'm sure there are more important things to do haha :)

    I think that without removing all thread contributors Follow preference it won't work.

    Problem with this is all followers of the remaining original thread will be unsubscribed too.

    Hi James, screen shot as requested. As I said, it's not actually a big deal now I know it's not something I'm supposed to access, I can ignore it :) so don't worry about it for my sake...
