Do we really need ascii art in a push response?

Ugh.

[Rick Bross]

+1 - even if I agree with the sentiment, let's keep politics to ourselves at work.

[Franklin Peach]

Exactly. I don't care if they support Trump or Obama. Gay or Straight.  Religious or Atheist. keep your politics off my paid services.

This isn't about the message. Its about walking in to someones work area and interfering with their workflow. I don't care if they put rainbow on their website, or talk about supporting things they like on social media. That's what those mediums are for! This API is not the proper place for advocacy especially when it breaks terminals, scripts, and automation's and it just generally too big and obnoxious. 

And please stop trying to claim the moral high ground and belittle anyone who disagrees with this. I could care less what consenting adults do when they are alone. It's none of my business. This is about the fact that it's not a good idea to dump a bunch of unexpected, poorly tested and completely unnecessary output on to the terminal, while people are using a standard API to do productive work on a service that they are paying to have operate in its expected fashion.  And when it's pointed out that the supposed workaround only compounds the issue, there is no explanation or acceptance that this was not the right place to put such a message. It's instead implied that those that disagree must be  doing so for "other" reasons and if the message is removed that it will be because they bowed to some extremist ideologue position. 

Most of us are just developers that are trying to make the world a better place, and I for one would rather be doing that than having to fix something that doesn't need to be broken, and taking time to write out this message. 

[Sebastian Lutter]

I guess they never used their own product in production, I guess they don't even know what you mean by parsing the output and why automation using scripts is important.

I can't believe how stupid and narcissistic they act. I have enough of this ego and politics shit, what is next? Advertisements that are distributed using the remote text?!?

[Nick Phillips]

Disabling console messages causes the PR create/existence response so that also breaks my response parser. 

By all means make the whole website into a rainbow!

I'm using a paid service and the terminal is a tool, a paid one at that! It should be consistent 100% of the time.

Or you can turn it off by going to Bitbucket settings, and unchecking Console messages under Profile.

[Chris Venus]

Yes, I agree that some additional text would be helpful. My first thought too was that there was a security issue here and some hacker had tagged bitbucket. Additionally it doesn't even render correctly at all times since for me I was viewing it somewhere that didn't interpret the colour codes (though I recognised what they were at least) and doesn't use a fixed width font so it just looked like a mess on my screen. But yes, some acknowledgement that this is official on the message would be lovely. Also some explanation would be super helpful because even had I seen it properly and known it was official I'd still probably have been a little confused as to why...

This is the bitbucket settings link ... in my UI, the menu is accessed from the account avatar in the lower left.

Where is the option to deactivate this feature?  I have looked and can not find any setting in my repo controls.

Please, if people see this and are tired of this type of thing let Atlassian know. We are paying for this product and don't need an agenda push when we are trying to do our jobs.

[Steve Logan]

It should probably include a message "This is provided by Atlassian in support of LGBT communities".  I kinda freaked out when I committed this morning and now stopped what I was doing to research it.

[D van der Meer]

I Agree!

[Caleb Bartholomew]

Keep politics out of code, and keep my terminal clean.

[D van der Meer]

I just use bitbucket for work and dont wish to be spammed with these statements.

[Jonathan Tan]

May I suggest an additional line of text before the art begins, saying something like "Atlassian displays the following ASCII art in support of the LGBTQ community".

That would go a long way - in my case anyway - in NOT freaking out that my server has been hacked and I'm getting unexpected messages. 

[Nicholaus Harris]

I was surprised by today's ASCII art as I had never seen this behavior before, but a quick search brought me here. And now that I understand, I like it! 

[ryanwebbfmg]

I assume this is the correct setting I need to adjust?
