Do Cultists and Shoggoths still appear in a town after its gate is sealed?

The designer confirmed that a gate sealed with the normal cards keeps receiving Cultists, and a later reply limits the exception to the Elder Sign.

Yes. Sealing a gate removes one Cultist from each location in that town once, but it does not stop new ones from being placed. Only an Elder Sign on that town stops new Cultists there.
