Message automatic deletion a la snapchat
I'm trying Mattermost on a large organization as a professional communication tool surrounding but not overlapping formal previous communication tools that will remain (email, business specific tools, etc). To achive that, Mattermost messages are meant to be sended/received, read, and then expire and dissapear. We don't need a new static, searchable communication tool (yet on steroids), but a volatile one in order to support teams internal dynamics, but not to remain logged.
I've thougth of a sort of bot checking times been read or time from post on every message and deleting on checking pre-defined conditions, but this would be…17 votes -
Enable setup as a Tor hidden service (like XMPP servers)
Many people use XMPP servers for instant messaging due to it's decentralisation. And many of these providers also have hidden service servers (.onion addresses)
If Mattermost wants to be competitive with other popular instant messaging programs like XMPP (Jabber) then it needs to allow easy setup of hidden service servers, ideally with a wizard setup installer.

Add option to restrict DMs to users who share at least 1 team
Proposed text:
System Console > Team Settings > Direct Message options
Enable users to open Direct Message channels with:
- Any user on the Mattermost server // default
- Any member of a team on which a user is also a team member
Help text: ”Any user on the Mattermost server” enables users to open a Direct Message channel with any user on the server, even if they are not on any teams together. "Any member of a team on which a user is also a team member" limits the ability to open Direct Message channels to only users who share at…

Add better filters/search for messages and attachments
Have a panel in the sidebar (similar to Slack) to view all available files/your files for the team/channel. Filters by file type and being able to search the filename would also be nice.
Have additional search filters (again similar to Slack) such as the time/duration or the has: qualifier (e.g. has: link)

Add Ability to allow webhooks in private channels
Add a control to allow webhooks to work in private channels. A per webhook control would be best, but an all or nothing would be a good start.

Server facilitated encryption of database contents
This feature proposal is for the ability to encrypt posts/direct messages in the database, with a server-side encryption of the database contents.
523 votesHey all, we’ve outlined available encryption options here: https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/encryption.html
Would love to hear feedback from everyone who contributed to this feature proposal!

Provide an option to only show channels with unread messages
We have a Mattermost installation where I'm subscribed to 24 channels, most of which are fairly quiet. Except for the channels that are at the top and bottom of the list (of course). I'm continually scrolling up and down.
I'd like to have an option that hides channels that have no unread messages. Hiding all-read private groups and DMs would be a bonus.
96 votesThanks Brian and others for suggesting this feature!
We are considering to add a setting to hide all read channels in the sidebar: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-7502
In the meantime, there are two features that can help your teams:
1) Mattermost v4.7+ supports a setting to group all unread channels at the top. This makes it easier to find all your unreads. It must first be enabled by your System Admin: https://docs.mattermost.com/administration/config-settings.html#group-unread-channels-experimental
2) Mattermost v4.9+ shows unread channels when using the channel switcher (CMD/CTRL+K) -
marking posts as read on viewing, not all in channel at once
For example I have off-topic channel with 1000 unread messages. I want to read them all, but it takes 15 minutes or more. I start reading, read about 200 messages, but at that time I receive very important direct message, or mention in other channel. I switch to that channel, do what I need, but when I come back to off-topic channel, i have all messages marked as read. moreover - I instantly jump to the end of a channel, not to place where i stop reading.
Also even if channel is opened, but i am reading something in past…

Add ephemeral chats
Implement ephemeral chats. Useful for one-off topic discussions that may intersect users who do not all participate in a common room and for topics that don't fit existing rooms. There would be a simplified creation process (no topic, no purpose, invite users as the first action), generally more like Direct Messaging. It should also be possible to add/remove people from the conversation and promote it to a real room at some point. Maybe I just want to talk with a group of colleagues about dinner tonight...
Benefits:
- Quick
- No competition for room names
- Possibly allow them to…9 votes -

Please use a different emoji/emoticon set, the ones you have make me use them less.
I'd put a sad face on the end there, but i'm not sure it will convey what i want..

Ability to customize the chat display/layout
Add a way to customize the display of the chat in the web interface. Currently a single message takes up two lines of text. If each message could be formatted as desired, the layout could be tailored to each users preference.
For example (with overly descriptive variable names):
%SENTTIME%| %SENDER%> %MESSAGE%
Would result in:
15:56| Kristian> Hello world!To build the current view, you could do:
%AVATAR% %SENDER% %SENTTIMEAGO%\n%MESSAGE%Or something like that.
As a long time IRC user, I feel that the WebUI for mattermost uses way too much space for a simple chat messages. With customized layout, it…

include a Trace option in the logging modes.
We were having an issue that was causing Mattermost to continually crash for no apparently reason. Nothing was consistent in the log files, debug didn't give enough information, heck I even did an strace on the PID and wasn't able to get anything useful. A Trace option should include DB calls, perhaps a transaction ID to link the API call to the DB call...

Easily change default channel town-square
Across Go and React code, town-square channel is hardcoded. Maybe we can make it configuration-based so teams can easily change it and the platform can redirect correctly to /channel/<new name>.
However doing this, we also have to change the mobile app code e.g. https://github.com/mattermost/android/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/mattermost/mattermost/MainActivity.java#L137 code.

Add a way to spoiler some messages or part of messages
I think it would be a great idea to add spoiler tags like message or message but for spoilers (i.e ^This is a spoil^)
There are several ways to implement this:
-By having an expand/close button for showing/hiding the message
-By having to select the text to see it
-By having to hover on the text with the cursor to see it (might be problematic for touch-based devices)I suggest discussing on what is the best for mattermost.
