Thanks for getting back to me. Here is a screenshot of what my staff category looks like right now. All the “new user .. requires review” messages are what I want to end up in my inbox instead of as topics in the staff category. I’m new to discourse, so probably I have set some setting that did this, I just can’t figure out what I did.
