Comment: << review queue entry 52435 - submitted by 'richwarm' >>
The original submission was better than how we processed it, I think.
"to do sth secretly" is too general -- that would include laudable things like planning a surprise party or police tapping a criminal's phone.
暗箱操作 is not just secret, it's something nasty -- typically an abuse of authority.
