So far no one has accurately addressed the question about what you want to see on the screen. If I were to interpret the current replies, the answer could be "nothing at all" as the regulars are asking for a way to hide it. That changes the question a bit. Let's split it up in two sub-questions:
For new players, I think it's most important to explain to them how to earn money. I suspect that commands such as /bank and /withdraw are clear, where they may be less familiar with commands such as /teleport. Their goals are firstly to have fun, and secondly to become a regular, so we'd have to think about which commands are essential in getting there.
For regulars who know all these commands, it's different indeed. I can imagine that some deathmatchers might be interested in constantly seeing their kills, deaths and ratio on the screen, while other players would be much less interested in that. I personally prefer having a consistent UI across players, but we can make it at least a bit configurable of course.
