Users added to team line removed
In each general channel a new line gets created for all new users added to a team. Can this line be removed?
As an example I setup a team and get some posts ready for welcome messages and introductions, then when I add groups of people, after a few lines all my messages have pushed up and off the screen.
We have one specific team for all in the business and all the threads are getting lost as we add each department/individuals one by one.

Drives me crazy....it makes it almost unusable. Nobody cares who has and hasn't been added, they want to see the posts. You shouldn't have to sift through rubbish to see them! Why not just allow the admins to switch these off as an option?

This is causing lots of confusion as users who have left the company are shown as leaving on the channel. IT Performs this removal immediately and sometimes before HR have released this information to the rest of the business, staff then see in advance of the message that the user has been removed. The other issue is sometimes a disabled account is re-enabled by IT, if it is part of a public or dynamic group, the user message appears as being re-added and people think the person has returned to the business.

There just needs to be a checkbox in the Teams Setting page "Show administration messages in General channel conversations?" Yes/No

Even if I switch of the notification some clutter messages remain. This is very annoying. Please add an option not to show any notification. This will improve the clearness and user acceptance of MS Teams significantly.

We currently are making use of Veritas Saas backup to backup our Teams groups and each time a backup is performed, Saas backup adds the "backup" user to every single team. This is necessary for the backup to happen, but its also a security concern raised by the business because the backup user now has access to confidential info. So yes, there should be an option to mask users joining or leaving teams channels.

This is problematic for our organization, as it adds unnecessary clutter to channels.

We have the same issue as MichaelF and Max, it's a serious HR issue for the entire team to see everyone that gets removed from the team as those staff were let go/are about to be let go.
Anonymous' suggestion of allowing a user to choose (opt in/out of those notifications) would NOT work as a resolution for this request.

Dette er jeg helt enig i at disse linjene bør kunne fjernes! Samtalene/info som blir lagt inn etterhvert drukner i disse linjene med medlemmer som legges til.

Especially on Org-Wide teams. The conversations tab is useless since it's spammed with all the new users. These items should be hidden by default and have a checkbox or something that I can check to view the administrative notes if I wanted to.
I could even see having the Owners of a team see them items but not the members but I'd prefer to just not see them at all.

Too much info kills the info...

This needs to be an option at the team level. Makes the General tab a mess and moves important information off the screen

Allow each user to configure personal general settings to remove these lines - but allow user to individually activate this on by-team basis.

This has to be fixed ASAP. Our all company channel is flooded with adds and removes and often people find out about a departure before it is announced because we suspended their account. Major HR issue here. We may have to suspend the use of all company channels until this is resolved. It is also very poor experience for any public channel that has a lot of people joining. New users get treated to a long list of scrolling added members instead of welcome message or other recent posts.
