Add option to show/hide ACL events (m.room.server_acl) in timeline

Open heurtematte opened this issue 1 month ago • 4 comments

This PR introduces a new user-controlled display option that allows hiding or showing m.room.server_acl events in the timeline.

These events currently appear as messages such as: "Eclipse Foundation Moderator Bot changed the server ACLs"

Element currently offers filters for join/leave events and other state events, but ACL changes cannot be hidden, which clutters the timeline especially in rooms where automated moderation bots adjust ACLs frequently.

CI is likely to fail due to your use of your fork's develop branch which makes SonarCloud unhappy

Is there anything else I can do to help move this PR forward and get it merged? I’m not sure whether the failed checks are actually related to the PR itself or simply due to the fact that it originates from a fork.

Also this needs Product sign off which will take a while whatever you do as their todo list is infinitely long.
