Be better not to.
I don't think anyone really cares if so and so has died.
It's okay to see if someone on your buddy list has logged in but not every player on the server.
Chat on it is bad and should be removed, toalls are fine.
Some of the info is okay though telling you what item you've picked up or touch the item to get it because some items are hidden behind trees, houses and can't been seen.
