Description

Description:

It would be nice to be able to suppress additional channel system messages such as "Room description", "Room announcement", and "Room topic", as they are missing from the current "Hide System Message" dropdown. It would also be nice to have the option to suppress all channel system messages. The current UI requires one to hide each message type individually.

Steps to reproduce

Under dot menu > Room Info > edit > Hide System Messages, toggle on. Options to suppress "Room description", "Room announcement", and "Room topic" are missing.

Expected behavior:

Options to suppress all message types.

Actual behavior:

"Room description", "Room announcement", and "Room topic", as well as a "toggle all" are missing.
