No, because you clearly haven't seen the legitimate uses.

I can't really think of any examples that I've done (but I know I've used it once or twice in Diepod's thread), but it's basically points that I'd like to get across to some, but not like leave myself open because it's just a mere hopeful thought or an aside remark. Again, it doesn't have to be negative.

But why does it have to be transparent? There is literally no reason it needs to be transparent.

If you don't want people to see what you wrote DON'T WRITE IT

But no one is going to read it unless they highlight all your posts in search of hidden messages. Or quote them, but if you hide part of the message then people are less likely to care about them.

I only want people who care to see.

Sometimes it's a bit obvious it's there. Like, you'll see the little "box" a bit wider than what it ought to be... so there are clues. It's up to you (who care) to pursue them. If you don't care, fine, but just let us go about our business unless the hidden comment was just THAT offensive to you, but again, it's only to those who care.
