Misc Media Album

Opening the folder there is a banner which states:

This album is used as storage for unmoderated media that can be added to wall posts or any banners. The album and its content is not visible to other members either from your profile, the main gallery or by invitation.

I have a few forum post upload images there. They are receiving likes and comments, so they are obviously open for viewing and by members of the general public. Mine are of no real import, but given that the images may have been created for very specific reasons, they could prove iffy to people taken out of context. They are also, per the above, unmoderated. If that is true, I can easily see a below the radar traffic developing in non-TOA images.

I just had a friend here check and she could not see my Misc folder at all. So how have those who looked at and liked images there seen them?

I believe they are briefly public in the gallery - I once tested it by posting a photo in the mod forum and getting a non-mod to check the gallery immediately. She could view and comment on it, and I could see it as a non-member in an incognito tab. A few minutes later, it had gone. Definitely a bug.

If that's what is happening, they are lasting at least 15 minutes in Gallery, given my post time and the likes given. Some, far longer.
