Option to stop display name changes from causing a room to be marked in the room list #2384

Your use case

What would you like to do?

Add a new option which changes room list behaviour: discount display name change events from causing a room to get a black dot/bold.

Why would you like to do it?

Room list is full of spam because people change their display name in the absence of a status field.

How would you like to achieve it?

Add an option

Have you considered any alternatives?

Ideally this wouldn't be needed because we should have a status field.

The option settings > notifications > Show all activity in the room list (dots or number of unread messages) is not enough?
