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
