I recently noticed that you get the ‘This is the first time x has posted — let’s welcome them to our community!’ message if a new user is replying to Discobot as part of their tutorial. Could we get that message to only show up on a non-pm post?

Hello P16!
This does seem strange however, a new user shouldn’t see them until they are TL2 (member) which means the PM Discobot sent them was their first post a long time ago. This is how the code currently works and it was mentioned before that this wasn’t going to change. On the other hand it seems like a small change to make so that it ignores messages?

> No, this won’t be happening, the current behavior is very intentional. Your other option is CSS modifications, which you can easily make yourself as @pfaffman noted.

Thanks for linking me to that topic @ondrej. I think Jeff did want to make the change though?

> Should this at least be changed for tutorial PM? Not many new users start the tutorial as the very first thing (actually, not many do at all), but those who do have the new user notice posted inside a tutorial, where no one will ever see it.

Yes my bad. I didn’t read all of the replies. Not sure if this is in the pipeline but it would be a nice addition.
