3380,Command to hide chat,elexis,elexis,"Sometimes, especially in 8 player games, the public chat can become quite spammed out.

It would be nice to have a `/mute` command to suppress these messages.

We should allow more specific tuning, which could have the following syntax:

`/mute` (suppress all chat messages)
`/mute public` (suppress only public messages)
`/mute enemies`
`/mute allies`
`/mute observers`
`/mute username` (suppress only messages of that user)

Of course turning back on the chat should work too with `/unmute`.

Observers must be able to type these commands without causing errors.

Like other commands, these should be made accessible from the GUI in #3787.",enhancement,new,Nice to Have,Alpha 21,UI & Simulation,,,,
