Why are these notices sent to me? How to proceed? ```plaintext Deprecation notice: `SiteSetting.min_trust_to_create_tag` has been deprecated. Please use `SiteSetting.create_tag_allowed_groups` instead. (removal in Discourse 3.3) At /var/www/discourse/lib/guardian/tag_guardian.rb:12:in `can_create_tag?` ``` ```plaintext Deprecation notice: `SiteSetting.min_trust_to_edit_post` has been deprecated. Please use `SiteSetting.edit_post_allowed_groups` instead. (removal in Discourse 3.3) At /var/www/discourse/lib/guardian/post_guardian.rb:375:in `trusted_with_edits?` ``` ```plaintext Deprecation notice: `SiteSetting.min_trust_level_to_allow_ignore` has been deprecated. Please use `SiteSetting.ignore_allowed_groups` instead. (removal in Discourse 3.3) At /var/www/discourse/lib/guardian.rb:560:in `can_ignore_users?` ``` ---

I believe these are caused by: > [@Changes coming to settings for giving access to features (from trust levels to groups)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/changes-coming-to-settings-for-giving-access-to-features-from-trust-levels-to-groups/283408): > > Many features in Discourse rely on a setting to give access by trust level. This has proven to be too inflexible over the years, so we are moving to a new practice of giving access to members of specific groups instead. We will now begin moving existing settings relying on trust levels so they instead rely on groups - see the list below that we are targeting. Some settings will remain trust level based where it makes sense. As we move along we will update the list and add replies here. Do let u… It doesn’t hurt to ignore them: > [@SiteSetting.anonymous\_posting min trust level has been deprecated](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sitesetting-anonymous-posting-min-trust-level-has-been-deprecated/283855/3): > > It’s a deprecation notice and shouldn’t do any harm. As Arkshine says, it’s connected to the move over to more group-enabled style settings, so you will likely see more as that effort continues. +1 I’m not sure how to turn off the notice. Maybe revert to the default value after checking to make sure the new group-based setting is correct? ---

Yeah, those deprecation notices you see in the browser console are mainly for developers so you can safely ignore them. 👍 ---

Can I totally ignore it then? I was worried that something would happen There are these others that I have no idea what they are, I searched here on the forum but I couldn’t find a solution. `Sidekiq is consuming too much memory (using: 506.27M) for 'dex-forum.com', restarting` `Detected rogue Sidekiq pid 3831279 mem 525602816, killing` `Authentication failure! request_error: OAuth::Unauthorized, 403 Forbidden` ```plaintext ``` Deprecation notice: Array types for custom fields are deprecated, use type :json instead (removal in Discourse 3.3.0) At /var/www/discourse/lib/plugin/instance.rb:573:in `block in register_topic_custom_field_type` ```plaintext ``` ---
