On our Discourse forum, we’re looking into changing our welcome message to a custom made one that reflects our community specifically. We were unaware that when Discobot came to be, the original welcome message changed to a “walk-through” of core Discourse functions.

I had a look through a few topics regarding altering the welcome message and found this link:

`admin/customize/email_templates/system_messages.welcome_user`

We swapped the old content for the new custom made content and whenever we create a new account, the Discobot message shows up, not the custom made message we inputted.

Surely there must be a way to set the welcome message to a static message instead of the dynamic Discobot message?
