Why were some users tagged in system message to Moderators

bentley-atlassian · March 22, 2021, 2:24pm

We had a message go to the Moderators inbox from the system about items that needed to be reviewed. The message subject was 1 item needs to be reviewed and the contents included:

Items were submitted over 48 hours ago. Please review them.

However, there were also 3 users @mentioned at the beginning of the content of the email. All 3 are moderators, but we have over 60 moderators in the group.

I can’t figure out why these 3 users were @mentioned and whether this is configurable.

I see where we have the following setting set:

Any thoughts on why these 3 users are being @mentioned?

I just had a look at the code that is used to create the notification. The way the moderators that are mentioned are selected is fairly readable. It’s not configurable though:

github.com

discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/jobs/scheduled/pending_reviewables_reminder.rb#L55-L61


      
          def self.last_notified_id=(arg)
            Discourse.redis.set(last_notified_key, arg)
          end
          
          def self.last_notified_key
            "last_notified_reviewable_id"
          end

Discourse is ordering your site’s moderators based on when they were last seen on the site, then picking the first three moderators from the list.
