Hello Tobias,

I understand that.

My original bug report was about syslog filling with unnecessary
information about users moving through the world and putting things
into chests.

This problem has not been addressed.

I suggest adding "--quiet" as parameter which according to Luanti's
help means

>  --quiet    Print only errors to console

This gives admins enough information to troubleshoot issues, while
keeping the journal clean.
