The new dashboard (which is nice!) contains a metric of user-to-user messages. These seem to include the messages that Discobot sends and that makes it fairly useless as a metric (since in small communities, new signups will dwarf PMs sent).
We launched in April, as you can see:
Feels like this metric should not include messages sent by or (solely) to users with negative ids (e.g. system and Discobot).
Hmm @j.jaffeux we usually exclude posts by users with an ID of 0 or lower (system users). There’s a constant for this in the Ruby code too.
Yes I know we have « real » users concept in code, this is an old report. Will check the code and apply this.
Should be done as of:

Thanks.
Nice, thank you Discourse team and @j.jaffeux in particular
