This mod removes some of the gossips (rumors) from the game. The gossips are the notifications that clutter up your screen while you wait for your turn to end / your new turn to begin, and which makes it quite hard to see the map below them (see the screenshot, although those are actually not being removed from the game).
They are not the little icons to the right of your screen.
The also show up in the diplomatic screen, but does anybody actually go there and read that?
You still might find some of the entries I removed useful for you, it's pretty easy to get them back in the game. Just remove the line or add a "--" before it (without the quotes).
For reference, this is the list of gossips that are removed by this mod.
