Summary
Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. The visibility of posts typed `whisper` is controlled via the `whispers_allowed_groups` site setting. Only users that belong to groups specified in the site setting are allowed to view posts typed `whisper`. However, it has been discovered that users of versions prior to 3.4.6 on the `stable` branch and prior to 3.5.0.beta8-dev on the `tests-passed` branch can continue to see their own whispers even after losing visibility of posts typed `whisper`. This issue is patched in versions 3.4.6 and 3.5.0.beta8-dev. No known workarounds are available.

Solo los usuarios que pertenecen a los grupos especificados en la configuraci\u00f3n del sitio pueden ver las publicaciones con este tipo. Sin embargo, se ha descubierto que los usuarios de versiones anteriores a la 3.4.6 en la rama \"stable\" y anteriores a la 3.5.0.beta8-dev en la rama \"tests-passed\" pueden seguir viendo sus propios \"whisper\" incluso despu\u00e9s de perder la visibilidad de las publicaciones con este tipo. Este problema se ha corregido en las versiones 3.4.6 y 3.5.0.beta8-dev. No se conocen soluciones alternativas."
