Hey everyone, haven’t been messing around with discourse in quite a while. I recently updated my site without testing locally. 2.8.0.beta8 - \> 2.8.0.beta10

I encountered an issue with Message Bus as it now does not push notifications for users who have not been seen \> 30 days.

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/312c4173664734b803c7332015de6ceb6f5d5e62/spec/services/post_alerter_spec.rb#L1008>

My inactive user in this instance is a bot that uses an API key. The bot posts and reads messages from the bus but it does not flag him as logging in or being seen in this case.

Is there a way I can set my bot up to ignore this? I impersonated the bot and it started reading/posting again. But i would like to avoid doing that every 30 days. Can it ignore moderators or admins for this? Also sorry if this is the wrong section.
