Hide command echo

[millerlogic]

When I do a /command it looks like I spoke it to the room, would be nice if it looked different.

[chris] test
[chris] /help
-> Available commands:
...

test is a message, /help is a command, it looks like both are seen by all users.

I believe IRC clients don't show you what command you entered, that could work here if the command output was useful by itself. Consider /msg and /reply (perhaps others) where you would want to see what you typed.

Otherwise a simple solution would be to just show the command, not your [name].

Thoughts?

Hi there, you're not the first person to get confused about that for sure, but a couple of counterpoints:

• As you mentioned, in some cases it totally makes sense to show what you wrote (e.g. /msg), and we try to prioritize consistency when possible.
• Many chat rooms do show the command, it really depends on what client you're using.

Also hiding the original message was not something that was technically possible before due to the way ssh-chat did rendering, but we recently changed the way we do ssh-chat's rendering so it is actually possible now.

Overall, I'm not opposed to making this change, but it's not a very high priority one right now. :)
