About-page shows mods and admins only for admin-user

AI-generated summary

winterk0rn reports that the About page only displays moderators and admins when viewed by an logged-in admin, whereas it should be visible to regular users and visitors. They argue that the default site text for the new user narrative (discourse_narrative_bot.new_user_narrative.hello.message) explicitly links to /about with the phrase “our friendly team,” implying that staff members should be listed there for general visibility. The user notes that the issue persists after updating Discourse to the latest version via launcher rebuild app and seeks help to understand why the staff list is restricted to admins only.

hi, I don’t think that it was like that all the time, maybe it changed just recently?

so, if I’m not logged in or if I use a second, basic user account, our about page doesn’t show the admins and mods! I thought, that maybe thats was all the time, but I think no, because I checked at /admin/customize/site_texts the following text discourse_narrative_bot.new_user_narrative.hello.message :

Thank you for participating in %{title} and welcome!

- I'm just a robot, but [our friendly team](%{base_uri}/about) is also here and can help if you need to reach a human.

- For safety reasons, we temporarily limit what new users can do. You'll earn [new abilities](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/) and [badges](%{base_uri}/badges) as we get to know you better.

- We believe in [civilized community behavior](%{base_uri}/guidelines) at all times.

(I translated it back from my primary language back to english, so maybe not 1:1 excatly like it is in english.)

and there you can see: “but [our friendly team](%{base_uri}/about)” so this means, that the about page is meant to show the admins/mods, right? and if I open our about page, everything is there- but not the admins/mods page. only if Im logged in as admin I see it…

I just updated discourse to the current version, with launcher rebuild app, but the “issue” still exists. anyone who has an idea what’s going on here?
