You don't need to remove the message entirely, unless you want to go that route. When the AddOn is loaded (login or reloadUI) check a new saved variable. Call it BasicUI.message_seen or something. Do not put a default value; leave that blank.

Then do an if/then during ADDON_LOADED (or OnInitialize for Ace3 AddOns). OnInit only fires once, and you would do the following check after you have set up or validated your saved variables.

if BasicUI.message_seen then
    break -- don't print the load message. break instead of return to exit the if/then but not the whole function
else
    BasicUI.message_seen = true
    -- print your welcome message
end
