I noticed that in the unread page, if i have some "legacy" posts that is unread, and subsequently the category is disabled, it will still remain in the unread page.
However, when one clicks on the post, it will show a 404 error.

While unfortunate, the loss of OP content is still better than the entire topic being deleted
I believe Reddit follows the same philosophy
That makes sense. I think of a few scenarios where it would be acceptable and a good idea to have.
Currently watching categories is opt-out. On forums having lots of new topics, this results in a huge number of items in example.com/unread. I think the unread page would be far more useful if watching categories was opt-in. That way /unread would contain only the items a user is interested in from the start and they won't have to go ignore a bunch of categories in order for /unread to become useful.
There are not hierarchical permissions in NodeBB. If you would like to see hierarchical permissions, you could open an issue on our Github page and request such a feature.
I do believe we have a way of copying permissions between groups, so that could help you out in doing what you want.
