Removing the message
To completely remove the message, you'll need to make a small tweak to the game files. Follow these steps:

Open Garry's Mod in your Steam library.
Click Browse Local Files to open the game’s directory.
Navigate to: garrysmod > lua > menu.
Inside the menu folder, find the file named "errors.lua".
Delete errors.lua.
Restart Garry's Mod, and... WOW! No more pesky error messages! 🎉
Q&A
Q: Will this fix the actual errors, or just hide the message?
A: This only removes the pop-up messages. The errors themselves will still exist and can be seen in the console and the Errors tab.

Q: Will deleting errors.lua break my game?
A: No, removing this file only stops the pop-up error messages from appearing. The game will continue to function as usual.

Q: How do I restore the error messages if I want them back?
A: You can restore the messages by verifying your game files:

Right-click Garry’s Mod in your Steam library.
Go to Properties > Installed Files.
Click Verify Integrity of Game Files.
This will redownload errors.lua and restore the messages.

Q: Will this work after a game update?
A: If a game update restores errors.lua, you will need to delete it again.

This explains why some mods had outdated lua thingys, And the reasons for the errors.
I'm not going to list those examples because it will take too long to do so here's my example:
