Creative /disable joinmessage

[sweeteaa]

I find it pretty annoying everytime a staff member joins Creative a join message pops up. They are cute and all but if they leave for a second and comes back it pops in chat again. It also hurts when @Hobali squishes my cheeks.

I think there should be a command to disable staff join messages and then if you wanna see them again just do /enable joinmessage or do /disable joinmessage.

What do you guys think? Leave your ideas and thoughts below!

They're here for a reason and disabling them beats the purpose of the command they're just a small message and nothing too big and I don't find them annoying at all, it's my opinion though.
The so staff join messages will be soon added for ranks also, it'll be not so fun if people disable the join message because it's like the same message you get when a friend joins but instead here you get it even if they're not a friend.

I however see alot of people disturbed by the join messages as they pop up way too much in the chat and if staff keep relogging it'll get a bit annoying so I'll stay neutral until I hear others opinions on this.

The chat messages aren't that much of a problem. It's a small message, and as HopesAndDreams__ said, they're nothing big and they're similar to the friend joining a network. It's also a very useful tip for the players on the server, because, at the moment, you can tell who is on from the staff team using join messages.
Most people enjoy the join messages, and others enjoy seeing the creativity that comes with them.

Overall, I don't believe it is much of an issue. Join messages aren't very big, so they don't cause a lot of commotion. It would be mostly useless to implement.

As Hopes said above, this may be implemented for ranks. This will potentially get very aggravating for players, especially if they keep relogging due to lag, and their message is constantly popping up in your face. Most messages are in bright colours that may be annoying / messy for players to see, unlike the friends list. Plus it may be coming from players you don’t necessarily know and may find aggravating to see as you don’t really care unless it’s a friend. Of course that’s not the case with everyone, and people do tend to like the messages, but there’s going to be people who don’t and want to disable them, which is why this is ideal.
And if you have friends, that you want to see still, it’ll alert you when they join the server anyway in the “friends list”.

+1

Edit- If it does remain a staff only perk, as Hobali said, it’d be almost useless to implement in that case.

But still, the colors and bold text can be aggravating especially for me because they stand out too much from the others and it's messy for me. I agree that if it is only a staff thing I mean it'll be sort of pointless to have but I know there's some people who get annoyed by it and a few of my friends have agreed with this as well.
Unlike Staff Join Messages, you can see they joined, but it's blended pretty well with the chat. That's why I don't mind friend join messages. But staff join messages can be too colorful, all in bold, etc.

Thank you for your reply. I do respect your points in this, but as I've mentioned before, it can be very distracting and aggravating to the eyes. I normally press tab a lot and I find that majority of staff members say "Hi." or "Hello!" in the chat to make their presence known. I'm not saying to remove the staff join messages, but for 1 single player for yourself to do /disable staffjoinmessages it'd be helpful for people like me.

Edit- Perhaps keep the join messages and disable colors/bold/italic texts in it? That sounds hard to implement though.

I believe this may be a perk for the rank E++ (judging by the error message those that are not staff get while using the command). If so, it would devalue the rank as the purpose of it is to broadcast that they are joining the game, and if people can simply disable that then it'd be nearly pointless. There already is a restriction on the length of the message, 64 characters, so players can't flood chat with it. If it's really that annoying, then possibly restricting the amount of bold/italic characters so that joinmessages can't just be like "Player HAS JOINED THE SERVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Removing color/bold/italics entirely would also devalue this as the purpose is to have a flashy message that you've joined the game. -1 from me, sorry.

I'm going to respectfully disagree here.
I believe it's a helpful announcement to players who are perhaps unfamiliar with the staff team and could also help players see who is active on the network at that moment. As Hobali stated, from what I've seen in chat- players actually enjoy the join messages and I have yet to see complaints about it.


Another issue with disabling the join message is for future ranks. It would be a useless perk if let's say the majority of the server decided to toggle it. A lot of players complain certain ranks are "under-perked". I feel like this would just aggravate the players who believe that even more.

I'd like to also mention that it is only ONE message. I don't really see how it could become aggravating if between every 10-15 minutes a staff member comes on with only one message. It's usually drowned out in creative chat anyway.

Thank you for your suggestion and I'd love to hear more opinions, but for now, I'll be voting -1.
