While I completely agree that they shouldn't show up, the question is how to detect them. If we filter on the name "Nickserv" and someone, for what ever reason, had that as their handle you wouldn't see messages from them.
So, I guess while I agree at the intention, I'm unsure of a strategy that would make this work. -- chanserv / nickserv / server notifications not relevant https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362660 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Indicator Applet Developers, which is the registrant for Indicator Applet. Status in Indicator Applet: Confirmed Status in “indicator-applet” source package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Right, the indicator applet is a great idea and it works quite well but there is one huge problem I have come accross usability wise. When you have pidgin running as your google talk, msn and irc frontend you will most likely come accross this. It reports server reconnects and nickerv messages to you in the indicator applet. Bad idea, why is it bad.... Because reconnecting to a server, or getting a message from a bot is not what people like to be notified about 100 billion times a day. I have found myself ignoring the applet because its nearly constantly in a new message state because of this flood of useless information and most of the time I find myself clicking on it to see a friend from msn or google talk sent me a message 4 hours ago. Upon reading the message I feel quite bad because I get messages like are you ever online for real after they get frustrated with sending me messages with no response. So please get indicator applet to ignore the flood of useless information so I wont be ass inclined to ignore it anymore. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
