Bot replies with an ephemeral message to the ignored user/usergroup instead of ignoring them altogether.

[SnehaRaoS26]

Report

What did you do?

ℹ Added a user group to be ignored in "ignore_usergroups" field the YAML file.

What did you expect to happen?

ℹ The bot should have ignored the message without giving any kind of reply to the user.

What happened instead?

ℹ The bot responded with an ephemeral message "You are not allowed to run the 'hello' rule." visible only to the ignored user.

Screenshots

Internal slack channel so can't share it but consider this:
Me: Hello bot!
(Only visible to you)
bot: You are not allowed to run the 'hello' rule.

The message ( you are not allowed to ... ) gives a feeling like I have done something wrong while I just wanted to silently get ignored.
