@sam, this somehow seems handled already… I’m not sure how though.

Here are the tests I ran with my branch active

With User Preference as Watching

1. Set a Topic to Muted, Reply to it, state of Topic doesn’t change
2. Set a Topic to Tracking, Reply to it, state of Topic doesn’t change
3. Reply to a Topic where I haven’t read/seen, it changed to the state to Watching

With User Preference as Tracking

1. Set a Topic to Muted, Reply to it, state of Topic doesn’t change
2. Set a Topic to Tracking, Reply to it, state of Topic doesn’t change
3. Reply to a Topic where I haven’t read/seen, it changed to the state to Tracking

So something is handling this. When I get back, I’ll see if I can find exactly where it is being done.
