It generates a lot of per-line comments, obscuring comments from human reviewers. Our human reviewers would like to be able to quickly sift out to see only issues that their colleagues have flagged. ### Proposal A checkbox or button to "exclude bot reviewers". This is what the widget currently looks like: {width=261 height=120} You could imagine a button to "hide service account-initiated threads" or a checkbox to hide them by default. Note that a human user will often respond to comments from the CodeRabbit bot, for clarification or to tell it that we have chosen to ignore the issue. This means that a comment initiated by a bot might still have a comment from a non-bot user on it. Another human reviewer (other than the author or assignee of the MR), might also choose to engage on a service account-initiated thread. Nonetheless, it might be fine to just have an option to hide service account-initiated threads. A separate question is whether users should receive notifications for service account-initiated threads on their MRs, but this could be described in a separate feature request. ### Intended users Humans reviewers
