Before I say anything else, let me first make it very clear: I am in no way claiming that this mod is not helpful, useful or otherwise beneficial to many people. It is all of those things, objectively.

Now that that's out of the way; is there any possible way to never see or hear any of these macro readouts again? It has been the most annoying trend I've dealt with playing on public servers for years. Not only do people tend to get very trigger happy (read: mass spam) with reporting item and stat values, the character-specific quotes that accompany them are so dismally off-brand to how Klei writes their personalities that I'm forced to roll my eyes and sigh every time I see them.

If I'd like to know if anybody has silk, or whether or not they're about to die, or if the berries at camp are about to spoil, I would greatly prefer somebody just using their own words to tell me. Additionally, people reporting the exact number of days remaining in the season or the precise ambient temperature is just... I dunno, it feels weird? Maybe a little immersion breaking. Whatever.

I recognize that I might be in a small minority with a request like this, given how ubiquitous the use of this mod seems to be nowadays. I'm not asking to ruin anyone's fun here. All I'm asking is if there is a way to stop everyone else from ruining mine. It feels wrong that a non-server mod you're not even using can have such a big impact on your game experience.
