Inane messages in local can at times be distracting so how do you block them ?
I guess you can block an individual character , a corp or an alliance but say in the case of a war that has multiple corps and alliances is there an option to block all messages from war targets ?
reduce the width of the chat window to the lowest possible width. Then expand the user list to to the left as far as possible until it snaps and you only see chat user portraits but no messages.
