# MSC3786: Add a default push rule to ignore `m.room.server_acl` events
|
|
|
|
`m.room.server_acl` events allow for expressing which servers can participate in
|
|
a room. Room server ACLs aren't something the user should have to worry about,
|
|
so these events should not trigger notifications; however right now they *do*
|
|
trigger notifications, if the user has the room rule set to `notify` (`All
|
|
messages` in Element).
|
|
|
|
Additionally, these events are often sent quite frequently during spam attacks,
|
|
which causes the users to be overwhelmed by
|
|
notifications. (See <https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/20788>.)
|
|
|
|
Due to these problems, this MSC proposes a new push rule to ignore these events.
|
|
The new push rule is analogous to `.m.rule.member_event` (see <https://spec.matrix.org/v1.2/client-server-api/#default-override-rules>), or `.m.rule.reaction`
|
|
(from [MSC2153](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2153)
|
|
or [MSC2677](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2677)).
|
|
|
|
## Proposal
|
|
|
|
A new [default override
|
|
rule](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.2/client-server-api/#default-override-rules) is
|
|
to be added that ignores `m.room.server_acl` events:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"rule_id": ".m.rule.room.server_acl",
|
|
"default": true,
|
|
"enabled": true,
|
|
"conditions": [
|
|
{
|
|
"kind": "event_match",
|
|
"key": "type",
|
|
"pattern": "m.room.server_acl"
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"kind": "event_match",
|
|
"key": "state_key",
|
|
"pattern": ""
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
"actions": []
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This new push rule is inserted immediately after `.m.rule.tombstone`.
|
|
|
|
## Unstable prefix
|
|
|
|
During development, `.org.matrix.msc3786.rule.room.server_acl` is to be used
|
|
instead of `.m.rule.room.server_acl`.
