A private message "Thanks for spending time with us" from system on VRChat Ask Forum may confuse users (Trusted Users) about promoting up a "trust level"

After an unknown amount of time after first login, or after a certain number of posts (5?) on VRChat Ask Forum, the following message is sent out by system via VRChat Ask Forum private messages to the user:
> Hey there. We see you’ve been busy reading, which is fantastic, so we’ve promoted you up a trust level!
> We’re really glad you’re spending time with us and we’d love to know more about you. Take a moment to fill out your profile, or feel free to start a new topic.
"Huh? I've been a Trusted User in VRChat for a long time now!", I thought. "There's a rank above Trusted User?!" No (well, no, not unless you're an Administrator account, a VRChat employee). How confusing!
Turns out this is about separate, underdocumented trust levels on VRChat Ask Forum (the Discourse forum software platform), and this private message was not relevant information to me.
Maybe these messages can be disabled or the wording can be changed to something better?

I think the easiest thing to do would be to rename the user that the messages come from, instead of from "system", which kinda indicates that its from VRChat the service, not some third party forum software.
If the messages came from "VRChat Ask Forum" instead of "system" there would be no ambiguity.

A similar message for "Trust Level 2", while not as confusing, may still be a source of confusion for some.
