Any ideas why staged users are getting welcome messages? I looked through my settings and am not sure what to turn off to prevent this from happening.
To clarify, this is for a personal forum I am setting up. I’ve been reaching out to people by email in the usual way, and they got a message from discobot. I’ve since fiddled with the settings and these welcome messages have ceased. I don’t know what I did to fix it.
I still need to do some testing and will get back to you here when I have info, but if any one has insights into the combination of settings to prevent this while still allowing new users to receive it, I’d appreciate it.
I have repro on the personal forum I am setting up now and on community.namati.org. The offending setting appears to be the one highlighted in the screenshot below.
Staged users will get the welcome message from discobot if welcome post is not disabled, and “send all new users a welcome message with a quick start guide” is selected.
Staged users will not get the welcome message if “Start the new user tutorial for all new users” is selected.

I could reproduce this locally, this should fix it (once it passes tests): https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/3c5fbd3ce1f0980fe6490c1720201ce223ec8355
Thanks for the report @tobiaseigen!
