Hidden boards, recent comments and RSS feeds

RC3. Recent comments from the posts in hidden (for moderators only for example) boards are visible in RSS feeds. That comments can contain some very confidential information about the specific user for example. I think RSS feeds should contain only recent comments from the boards that opened for viewing by guests. Am I wrong?

P.S. Is there any way to turn RSS feeds off for the forum at all? Can't find something about RSS it in the settings.

Have you checked the feeds when you are not logged in?

My bad, sorry! Since I have no RSS app installed I didn't pay attention to that browser safe XML file locally before opening it.

No worries :) Seems it's functioning alright then.
