Restricted channels with a join policy
Currently all you can have in Mattermost is public channels (joinable by everyone in the team) and private channels (not visible in any listing, and you need to be added).
The problem is that sometimes you want to have a private discussion where e.g. everyone from the IT department is allowed to participate. Currently you would have to add your whole department to such a channel (which is spammy, especially since you cannot hide any channels from your sidebar without leaving them).
It would be nice if it was possible to mark a channel as restricted. Such a channel would…

Add user profiles and text boxes
It would be great if there was a way to expand profiles to include boxes where users could host information. This might include: location, about me, skills, experience, links to external sites and portfolios, or active tasks engaged with. If there is already a way to do this it would be great to know. Thanks!

Modify a user via CLI
Would be nice to have the ability to update/modify a user via the CLI. Similarly to create user, you are able to set their name, email, etc. It would be nice to be able modify those details of an existing user via the CLI or even UI. I've found some user's end up entering their names all lower case or some don't even enter their details.

Add a font which is readable without Anti Aliasing
With release v4.0 release (July 16, 2017) the ability to choose fonts was removed. The one and only font (Open Sans) is quite unreadable if Anti Aliasing is switched off. Please think about people with handicaps which cannot use Anti Aliasing because of their eyes.
Please add at least one font (as Arial or Ubuntu from pre 4.0) or provide a simple description of how someone can do this for a local installation.

Add background color on BOT messages (by condition or log level)
I just wonder that if MM could set background color for messages by condition.
Like hipchat that bot messages could show with different color by info level:
green => success
yellow => warning
red => failed32 votes -
deleted message notice
Current behavior: when a user deletes a message, it's removed from the channel altogether.
Requested behavior: when a user deletes a message, that message is replaced by "message deleted" as a status message (the same style as "user has joined the channel"). This could be implemented as default behavior, or as a setting.
Reasoning: it can be important for the context of a conversation to see that one or more messages were deleted. A user might have responded to a message that has been deleted, which can change the meaning of the message.

Add a /quote command
Pasting a multi-paragraph block of text for quoting is currently frustrating, as you can't just type "> " and then paste and hit return, because if "\n\n" happens to exist in the block, it'll fall out of quote mode.
Since we already have /code for code pastes (like HipChat), let's also go for /quote: you do "/quote <paste><enter>" and done.
The implementation would be virtually identical to /code, just replace the 4 spaces with "> "

Allow custom emojis to appear in default dimensions
Hey guys,
I really like the product, would be possible to display the custom emojis in their default size? Similar the way we post a picture with a direct link in a conversation. Would be nice to have not only the default emoji sizes (I'm aware of the possibility to use # to make the gifs and pictures smaller/bigger), but if we could add and save them in a larger state. Currently any meme which has writings on it can not be seen well, and we know that memes=life. Thank sin advance!

channel profile images
Support avatar icons for channels.
it would be great if the service and apps provided a similar API and UX to allow profile images to be assigned and queried for a channel.
This might work similarly to what is in place for users, where the Mattermost API supports getting a profile image for a user, except this request would provide profile image by channel.47 votes -
android notification priority
Android has a notification implementation that supports priority levels. (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html). This means that you can define different priorities for the notifcation. lowest means no notification and max is that you get a pop up/in from the top even in full screen apps (like a movie)
Its very disturbing to have that pop in when you are busy with other stuff. especially in the weekend while you are not working (mattermost is in my case work related). If you look at Telegram, you can choose your priority for the notification, or at least this is possible via the settings…

emoji reaction keyboard shortcut
This was my most used shortcut in another messaging app that starts with an S and ends with an ack.
Also to then be able to select emoji with arrow keys and enter is crucial. Would even go a step beyond if shift enter allowed you to pick more than one emoji reaction! #Mindblown

Create an editable message ('wikipost')
Our team documents project features by posting and re-editing posts. (They can then be flagged, or in future, made sticky, to keep them at hand.)
What would be useful here is to make a post that I choose to allow others to edit, in a wiki or confluence-style.

Support for the Slack Real Time Messaging (RTM) websocket API
The RTM API allows integrations to connect to slack from behind a firewall, seemingly connecting much like a normal desktop client might, from any computer, not just an externally visible server.
It's a very important enterprise feature for those wanting to integrate Mattermost with their internal applications.
Further discussion on this can be found here:

Separate "Favorite channels" and "Favorite users"
The new "Favorite channels" feature interleaves channels and users. It would be better to separate out "Favorite users", the same way Channels and Direct Messages are separate.

"Voiced" channel mode like IRC
Sometimes (especially in open source development) public and private are not granular enough distinctions. I'd like to be able to set a public channel as "voiced" where only certain users can post messages, but everyone can read them.
This is similar to IRC, and is extremely useful for meetings held publicly, but where the only voiced participants are members of the project leadership.

Restrict Direct Messages user list to the members of the currently viewed team
The DM user list can be very crowded. My suggestion is to restrict this user list to the members of the team that is currently selected in the Teams Sidebar, just like the way public channel list is implemented.
So the user list in the "Direct Messages" section will change when the user switches to a different team.
