Add ability to convert DMs into private channels
This is a really useful feature in Slack when you realize a topic deserves a dedicated channel, but want the DM history to become a part of it:

Edit default emojis
We use the default emojis and the custom emojis in our Mattermost. To custom it even more, we would like to edit the full set of default emojis (not create new ones) e.G.
:D
.The proposition could be done in several parts:
- setup in the administration panel a way to edit the picture for one default emoji
- setup a way from the administration panel to import a set of emojis to replace the default ones
- setup in the administration panel a way to reset the default emojis to the original ones
- update mobile applications to…109 votes -
Disable direct messages
Our company would find it useful if there was an admin option to disable direct messages all-together.
We think this may help the work of teams where there is no need to discucc anything outside of team channels.105 votes -

Ability to modify attached files when editing a message
Currently, Mattermost provides the ability to edit a message after you have posted it.
However, there is no way to modify the file attachments via this editing process.
Recent use case: I uploaded the wrong file when posting a message. Ideally I would have been able to edit the post to correct the mistake, i.e. to remove the incorrect file and attach the one I meant to attach. However, I could find no way of doing this.
Luckily, in my case it was simply an old version of the document, and therefore not too big a problem. However, I am…

Forbid to change username
Add an server wide option to forbid renaming user names. It might be a security problem, if someone claims abandoned user name (/account name).

Ability to disable rendering of animated emoji, or to hide posts, to improve performance
The problem I am having is that in some channels when users are using tons of animated emojis, I am seeing my CPU sit at >=30%. If I then switch to a more static channel, the CPU usage drops off the top of the list.
The feature I would love is to either:
* Have the ability to disable the rendering of animated emojis (or gifs?)
* Or to have the ability to hide postsCurrently I have to make sure never to leave a heavy animated channel as my active channel.

Add actual permanent deletion - on database AND filesystem level
It would be really, really cool, if one would be able to delete content permanently.
The problem is that currently the mattermost installation will grow indefinitely.
The idea is to allow system admins (or "./platform"-access) to clean storage and database.
Selectively: delete all "deleted" files, delete all "deleted" messages.Currently you can delete users and teams permanently.
(leaving their filesystem stuff)
Which basically just needs some little extension.Also add some information for sysadmins on how much filesystem storage is currently in use (+used by deleted files) and add an option that warns sysadmins if the set number of GB…

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) -
Allow selecting and deleting multiple messages at once
Allow Channel Admins to be able to enter "select" or "edit" mode where checkboxes appear next to the messages.
Admins would be able to select messages one by one or to select a range of messages by clicking the first one, holding Shift button and selecting the last one (like we've used from other software).After selecting multiple messages, Admins would be able to delete them at once, or perform any other action that might be implemented during the development (move, archive, flag, something else).
This feature would make it a lot easier to delete whole bunches of off-topic messages…

Team admin should be able to export datas
Right now, only mattermost instance admin can export teams but only all teams.
There is two issues:- first: we can't export one team (see this request: https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/39225376-mattermost-bulk-export-single-selected-team)
- second: it's the instance admin job to export
It would be a great improvement if team admin could use the user interface (and not has to ask to his instance admin).

Create a Sandstorm app
Mattermost seems to be a good candidate for making a Sandstorm app. Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io/ allows for secure bottling of web-apps. Many of the apps currently in the ecosystem are complementary to Mattermost - in function and ideology.

Support ip and mac text search
The docs explains that:
"IP addresses, for example 10.100.200.101, do not return results."
