Can I stop responder alerts when an incident is assigned to someone?

Question

We are setting up our JSM instance to handle our incidents and alerts, moving away from OpsGenie.  In testing, we have turned on the responder alerts, and these are working fine, but we would like to stop responder alerts from being created when someone is assigned to a ticket.  My team usually self-assigns tickets, so these alerts are unnecessary.  Is it possible to filter our alerts or something so assignee responder alerts are not created, but other alerts continue to come in as normal?

I have the same issue. The team self-assigns tickets and are than automatically added to the responders and receive an alert. Turning off the alerts does not make sense if you want to use the alert to further escalate the ticket by adding a responder. 
It would be great if you could assign a ticket without assigning the ticket to the responder. This way you can add a responder if you like to escalate and alert the responder team. Any suggestions?

This does not work.

This could work, but I believe the responder alerts would still be created, just not notify if this is the case (please correct me if not accurate).  It sounds like it's an all or nothing when toggling the 'responder alerts' in JSM, unless I'm missing something.
