Hi Kellar.
Pls ignore the fake trolls.
What I did was creat a new chat window named “PEACE” disabling any and all types of messages therein. I guess you could also disable chat entirely.
Sometimes the window fades too, which is nice, but other times it doesn’t although in both cases there are zero msgs displayed.
I am not sure what causes the chat window to fade or not fade.
I hope they listen at Blizzard, this is an absolutely reasonable request of low impact, if any.
