Moderators / Admins can tweak the category & topics of others’ topics… Is there a way to have this action not show the Mod/Admin’s user info in the “Last Post” column on a topic listing page? (perhaps related to Editing tags shouldn't bump the topic's timestamp ? although just now when I added a tag to a topic, the timestamp stayed the same; my user info appears as if I added a post with the timestamp of the last post…)

Did you enable the create post for category and tag changes site setting? [Screenshot_20240718_090016_Chrome]

I have that disabled and at the moment changing category will bump. Nevermind. I didn’t realize I was actually editing OP because I tell who edited and when.

This is not about bumping, but rather about the problem that the user adding the tag is shown as the most frequent poster. The theme @alxndr uses hides small action posts, but the information about users who have posted in a topic is not affected by hiding a post with a theme. That’s why “last reply” for example in the topic map shows another avatar than the visible last poster (you can see the small action post in my screenshot because I used safe mode)

Maybe it was enabled two months ago. The setting was removed and readded within that timespan. And it will soon be removed again https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/28732

I have this option turned off (as is the default iirc).
