GM-Only Characters visible to party

I recently encountered that all of my GM-only characters are visible to the party. When they click on the links, they get the whole "Only viewable GM" part, but what bugs me is that they can even see the name in the first place. Is this supposed to happen? Is there a suggestion forum I can go to to request that this stop being the case? Almost all the characters on my profile are NOT supposed to have even their names known to the party, as they are all big plot reveals.

And before someone gives me the suggestion that I simply delete the characters altogether, I'll get this out of the way right now: Forget that noise. These are characters that have a lot of story to them, and I'd rather that their stuff was up on the Portal for me to be able to access, change, and type. It just bothers me that all of my players can see the names. If they can't read the material anyway, and they are GM-only characters, why are they're names even there?

Thanks for any help that anyone can offer on this, I seriously would like to see this change.

    Submit a bug report, it sounds like a glitch. I just double checked my campaigns and they do not have that issue.

    I'm finding it frustrating that one of my players keeps editing the wiki and other areas of my Campaign. Is there a feature that only allows players to edit their character and nothing else?

    There is no feature that shuts the players down. Most GM's on this site would be so excited to have a player want to participate that they would be tripping over themselves to allow it! I have active players, and they just make sure the vision is the same, and they are allowed to create NPC's, towns, etc... Why is this a bad thing?
