Hey all - is there anyway to disable the notifications that users see if their topic was edited, particularly if it was edited by an admin? I regularly edit topics, spelling, etc. And Discourse notifying a user of that is… awkward. Anyway to disable this?

Aha, I found another as fastidious as me! I would like to see a toggle for this as well.

For the record, whenever you’ve edited my posts here, I’ve always thought “hmm… what did I do wrong? Why did he edit my post?” :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: And what made me ask this is someone on my site asked why I edited it. It’s just awkward and if it could be easily hidden that would be …

Would be really nice to have this feature. I also edit topics and don‘t want to be seen as the guy with ocd who edits the tiny spelling mistakes people make :smile:

Was there ever a solution for this, this makes a lot of sense for moderators of forums. I was told people get an egregious amount of notifications from my edits
