What's the point of the [hide] tag?

It says it will hide part of the message from guests, but whenever I try to link RBXDev posts to others, it won’t let them view the post anyways, and it says they have to log in.

Is there a way to view posts as a guest? Is there any reason for this tag?

I am also curious to know the answer to this.

they just didnt bother to turn it off

Remember the RbxDev is powered by Kunena – an open source forum project. In other forums, guests may be able to view posts, but not on RbxDev.

I personally think there should be some sort of option to make your post visible for guests,

Then for roblox admins to use this on updates so that RBXDev members can link other users to these updates.
