With the official slack plugin, when you do the following, it’s not clear what behavior to expect:
```plaintext
/discourse watch foo
Watched category foo
/discourse watch bar
Watched category bar
/discourse mute all
Muted all categories on this channel
```
At this stage, the admin plugin settings show three rows:
1. Foo, #my-channel, All posts and replies
2. Bar, #my-channel, All posts and replies
3. All categories, #my-channel, Muting
When in this state, what should happen when a post is made in the Foo category?
If Mute overrides other settings, than I think I want to be able to “Unmute” All categories in this example (or maybe more generally delete a particular subscription from the slack command)
Alternatively, if the settings were:
1. Bar, #my-channel, Muting
2. All categories, #my-channel, All posts and replies
What should happen when a post is made in the Bar category?

As per my understanding of existing message sending code
Yes. Mute overrides other settings.

I guess we should have something like below

May be we have problem here. It may still send message to #my-channel.
I think we should come out from loop instead of moving to next record in [this condition](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-slack-official/blob/master/lib/discourse_slack/slack.rb#L174). Particularly when `i[:filter] == 'mute'`. Am I right @tgxworld?
