Gardening actions flooding FC Activity Log

[Ninix]

Currently every single gardening action, be it tending a garden, planting seeds, harvesting, or fertilizing, adds an entry to the Free Company activity log. For a free company with a lot of gardens (we have eight beds) the amount of spam this generates in the activity log is just a tiny bit over the top. Yes, I know there is a filter, but unfortunately it doesn't help because the activity log only holds a limited number of entries before old ones are discarded, which can result in more important notifications (such as changes in membership structure or people joining/leaving) being completely pushed off the log in less than a day regardless of which filter settings you use. In the below example, our log only goes back 10 hours max simply because it's been flooded with gardening notifications.



Any chance that these entries could be moved to a completely separate gardening log that doesn't affect the regular activity log? Or if not that, at least consolidate similar actions to just one entry, ie. "Some Person applied a sack of fishmeal to [32] plants". I understand that the point of these messages is to let people know which plants have been tended to and when, but the sheer volume of information makes it almost useless for that purpose anyway, because realistically nobody is going to sift through hundreds of truncated messages to find out if a single plant has been tended to.

100% support!

It's so aggravating that we lost all of our membership history, etc, from garden spam!

Don't get me wrong: i love our garden so much! But damn.....

I hope you don't mind but I made a post in General (because it's more visible) and linked to your post too.
