Describe the feature Add "Ad Messages" to the setting, this will let players toggle if they can see messages from /ad or not

How the feature is useful This feature would clean their chats. This would be very useful if a youtuber/twitch streamer is recording/streaming or something, and want to hide advertisement messages.

What's the use of /ad if you can toggle it...

[quick007]

Yea, the whole point of /ad was to reduce spam, just allowing people to turn off ads would be dumb imo. Maybe yt and above could toggle it if you really wanted to.

[mygizli04]

I'd love this but if this happened no one would use /ad and we'd be back to square 1. The entire point of /ad is to make ads more visible while reducing spam.

[ahoulton]

Because some owners are so hungry for players, we might go back to square 1 as they will simply do everything for players even if it means breaking the rules, I'm not supporting this for everyone but might be useful for YouTubers.

Maybe this could be a donor perk?

Still feel that this would put people to square 1. What's the point of /ad if you can disable them

People 1. Won't know about the setting unless they actually care and 2. If it's a donor perk for PRO or above, not many people would even disable it

[mekb-turtle]

People (maybe like me) might just get a client side filter to remove ads so idk, it might be useful.

[yeetyboi56-deprecated]

Yeah, toggleable ads should be only for [PRO] or higher so many people wouldn't disable it.

[quick007]

If ur gonna get a client-side filter then you deserve to have ads off lol

[yeetyboi56-deprecated]

Since the new system has a prefix for every ad, all players can easily filter them so there should be an option to hide the messages.

I believe server owners should get the most exposure for their server from the lobby. In fact, one of Minehut's main selling points is the large community and the amount of people that roll through the lobby. Why should we be lowering the amount of exposure for a server?

[Vocallity]

Touching on what everyone said, /ad already decreases a great portion of spam. I can see why people would rather not have it but like others said it's important for servers to get proper exposure as that's what Minehut is best at providing.

[drtshock]

Thanks for the suggestion. Like others have said, we're trying to push people to use /ad while not being too harsh on filters in the normal chat. If we did this, we'd have even more issues of players advertising in normal chat as well as decreasing the visibility servers get by advertising in the lobby, which is a main selling point of Minehut.

If you close the issue pretty sure we can't reopen it if that's what your implying
