Remove join/quit messages entirely #98

Closed whereswaldon closed 5 years ago

This PR completely removes the existing [join] and [quit] messages. You can get similar information from tail -f ~/.local/share/muscadine/muscadine.log, and it will cut down on a lot of spam.

I've gotten into the habit of assuming that activity on arbor is just noise, and I think that proves the anti-value of this feature.

Erase all that do not apply:

I'm not sure it is a good idea to remove join and quit messages entirely. I agree that printing them can cause clutter but I wonder if changing them to some meta message might be a better idea. That way they still won't print but the server can still provide information on users joining and quitting? Perhaps the presence connection itself provides the number of uses connected but knowing who could also b useful.
