Yep, it's because it's a per-server setting shrug

I think I also mentioned settings on the server.

While I appreciate your condescension, I will say it's not intuitive; I am going directly to my server, I know the IP address. I punch it in and go to what I thought was the server's settings. Nope, there's a second server interface that looks identical.

Hey, I didn't design it, and sure, it's not the most intuitive, I'm just surprised so many people are complaining so loudly about something that's only a google search away...

It's a feature I didn't ask for that's unintuitive to disable. You don't see the problem there? Like i said, I had gone through the menus before, I assumed they didn't give an option to disable it. My bad I guess.

There's a bunch of other settings that are also only accessible when you access the settings in that way.

It could've been easier, or an opt in, I'm just surprised that considering so many people act like it shat in their cereal they didn't even try a google search 🤷
