I have set the config option `disable tags edit notifications` so “Disable tags edit notifications on topics.” is checked.

I am, then, tagging thousands of posts via the API.

To my surprise, I am getting notifications.

Is this because my account is an admin, or is there something about this setting that a) does not match my assumption as to what it does or b) is not working as intended?
