sorry for the necro, but i just discovered (on my site anyways) that the mute setting lets a user enter staff members into the field but the system overrides the notifications. i was able to add both a moderator and myself the admin to my test user account’s mute users field. the ignore field didn’t let me pick staff names, as expected but the mute field did and let me save it (i went back and verified that it saved them). the test account still received notifications and messages as if the staff weren’t muted.
