Yes, all of my staff forums are private and only the staff see them. There is no point in letting members and guests even see that there is a private staff forum. It's almost like they are trying to rub it in that they are better than everyone else. It's very unprofessional in my opinion.

Yes. The staff forums should always be hidden, imo. If for no other reason than that they take up space for the user.
