A short answer, based on past experience: yes.

Recommended reading: the answer to the FAQ that’s linked from the pinned topic 🙂 … if it does not make sense now, it will make sense as time passes.

For example: _Site administration_ might be a topic that you wish to move from the private lounge, to the public lounge; it’s for you (and the three other nominees) to decide whether a move is appropriate.

If the site is well-administered, then we should expect the community to have very few questions about administration. A simple, quiet life 😄

If general administration issues are brought into a public area, then you’ll probably find people addressing questions _to you_ that would be better addressed to [Discourse&nbsp;Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/).
