Your use case
What would you like to do?
I would like to allow users to choose whether they want to see
$USER1 invited $USER2
and$USER1 removed $USER2
messages in their timeline.Why would you like to do it?
In our network, we have channels whose membership is managed by a bot who automatically invites new users who belong to specific teams and removes them when they leave that team. Some of our users would prefer not to see these invitation/removal messages as they wish to concentrate on the actual messages.
How would you like to achieve it?
Similar to the
Show join/leave messages (invites/removes/bans unaffected)
option, there should be aShow invite/remove messages
option that is activated by default and can be deactivated.Have you considered any alternatives?
The functionality can theoretically be subsumed under the existing
Show join/leave messages [...]
option, but I assume there is a good reason why invites, removes and bans were excluded from it when it was implemented.Additional context
