We have a bot in our community and I woke up to over 300 notifcations. I’ve repeatedly muted my notifications from this account. I can’t mute the user because it’s an Admin. [32%20AM] [image] Still getting notifications from muted user in mailing list mode Bug I have a user muted on discourse.julialang.org but I’m still getting notifications from his reply on some(all?) posts. Below are all the non-empty notification related settings that I have, apart from the one muted user not included in the screenshot. [image] I’ve seen https://meta.discourse.org/t/muted-staff-users-still-show-notifications/38965 and this doesn’t seem to be the same issue since the user I’m muting is a normal user @vchuravy I’m not sure if it relates to this post :point_up: or not, but would love some guidance with this. This admin bot was created by a former colleague so I’m not sure how to customize it. Thanks in advance :pray:

@jess.burnham we just commited a fix that should resolve the notification onslaught. You’ll receive the next time we update your site, generally within a week.

Thanks for the report @jess.burnham. We’ve got an idea what is happening (unrelated to the topic you linked to) and are working on a possible fix.

Awesome! Thanks so much for looking into that @jomaxro :awthanks:

Hey again @jess.burnham. We’ve got the update rolling out to your site now. Should be live in the next 15 minutes or so.
