Can't mute system messages

Contribute Feature

AI-generated summary

The issue of not being able to mute system messages is being discussed. Drew_Warwick initially reported that even after muting the “system” user, they still received notifications. Yuun pointed out that the setting “disable edit notifications” can be enabled to prevent notifications from the system user when downloading local copies of images. However, codinghorror clarified that system messages and staff (admins and moderators) cannot be muted by design. Lilly also discovered that although staff members can be added to the mute field, the system overrides it, and notifications are still received.

The Discourse forum I’m using downloads local copies of embedded images, and it sends you a notification every time it does this. This doesn’t affect me and is unimportant and irrelevant to me, so I decided to mute the “system” user:


After doing so though, I still get notifications from system and they create a notification bubble over my avatar:

So I guess this topic is kind of two things in one:

  1. The system account cannot be muted
  2. Downloading local copies of images shouldn’t notify the poster

For this bit, the setting you’re looking for is:

disable edit notifications: Disables edit notifications by the system user when 'download_remote_images_to_local' is active.

It’s in ‘Other’ in admin/site_settings.

You can’t mute system messages, that is by design. You also cannot mute admins, moderators = staff.

Alright, thanks Yuun. I’ll ask the site administrators to turn on that setting.

네크로포스팅 해서 죄송합니다. 그런데 제 사이트에서 확인해 보니, 음소거 설정에서 스태프를 입력할 수 있지만 시스템이 알림을 무시하는 것 같습니다. 테스트 사용자 계정의 ‘사용자 음소거’ 필드에 모더레이터와 관리자(나)를 모두 추가할 수 있었습니다. ‘무시’ 필드는 예상대로 스태프 이름을 선택할 수 없었지만, ‘음소거’ 필드에서는 선택이 가능했고 저장도 허용했습니다(다시 가서 저장된 것을 확인했습니다). 하지만 스태프가 음소거된 것처럼 보이지 않고, 테스트 계정은 여전히 알림과 메시지를 받았습니다.
