Unviewable/broken random system-made topic

Hi, this topic randomly appeared under a few of the latest ones and it’s made by the ‘system’ account. I can’t even go into the topic to delete or view it, it just stays loading and the header freezes in that topic.

Do you have bots running or otherwise using hooks into the API to do things?

I’ve never seen that sort of bizarre system created topic ever.

@codinghorror I have no API keys but I am using Discord webhooks with the discord-chat-integration plugin I believe. Although, I don’t believe the discord webhooks are an issue because I set it up several weeks ago. Is there a way I can just delete it or hide it?

Anyone? Please mates? The topic is making my site look broken and bad.

Visit that topic, get its id from the URL and then ssh into your server

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
Topic.find(123).destroy

(Replace 123 with the actual topic id)
