For the moment, when this option "ExperimentalTownSquareIsReadOnly" is set to true, all the Town Square channels of all the teams become read-only.

It will great to set up this option not globally, but at the team level and not only on the "Town Square" channel but on any public channel.

If a user misses replying to a thread in a channel and instead replies directly to the channel, this message is not part of the thread that it was intended to be and the conversation is not clear.

There should be a way for a user or channel admin to move a message to the intended thread inside the channel and keep it inline with the on-going threaded conversation (since everything is timestamped this seems possible).

This would clean up the conversations and mistakes that users will make.

Add to jira plugin features to notify about new comments, description changes, attachments changes in a ticket.

Mattermost has a manual Do Not Disturb feature, which is nice. However, it would be extra nice to have "Do Not Disturb hours" for each account, so individuals can set certain hours when Do Not Disturb is automatically enabled for their account. It would be extra nice if these were automatically set on account creation to common bedtime hours in the local time zone; for instance 10pm to 7am. This is a nice work/life balance feature that encourages people to get enough sleep by default. :-)

In addition to specifying custom data retention policy globally across all teams and channels (see https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general/suggestions/10007076-ee-data-retention-and-prune-reset-clear-channel-c), allow

1) team and system admins set custom policies for individual teams
2) channel, team and system admins set custom policies for individual channels

We need a MSI file for automated (silent) installation. That way you can deploy the application with the group policy of windows.

• Seacrh a message
• Jump to the result
• You have possibility to load more messages before the result but not after it

The second generation mobile apps currently are not designed to support tablets.

(See https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-mobile/issues/670)

If you would like to see tablet / iPad support, please help upvote this feature idea so we can track the demand for it.

It was nice in Slack to say for the batch of invitees that have been recently invited that they be thrown into channels x, y, z instead of having to manually Add Member to varying channels or ask them to seek out channels and add themselves.

Sample use case: Block .exe files from being uploaded to prevent malicious executables from being downloaded.

In addition to .exe, also interested in blocking PDF files and compressed files.

Add an option to allow changing of the default "Display" settings from the System Console. (E.g set Theme & Teammate Name default "Display" settings globally).

Add cusom user groups for mentions. Something like @developers or @frontend to mention all members of group in this channel. Also it would be useful for large teams, when novices does not know who is who - with this feature they can determinate at least group

This feature proposal is for the ability to encrypt posts/direct messages in the database, with a server-side encryption of the database contents.

right now in the iOS app if you setup an instance I do not see a way to setup another one and seeing as how the current architecture of the product is, I would need multiple servers for my org's needs. the app should be able to handle it as well.

Add feature to make video/audio calls (personal/group)

For organizations with advanced compliance requirements, this feature should enable a System Administrator to omit the inclusion of message contents in email notifications.

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.

For IT policy compliance, offer the ability to invite non-team members users to Mattermost as "single-channel guests" to have access to read and write to one channel and direct message any other users in that channel.

Potential scenarios include opening discussions with non-team members, including customers, vendors, partners and interview candidates.
