Jussi, give us the option to turn the chat OFF, PLEASE

[maibatsu]

It is sad to say, but I am tired of reading (sorry for these words) stupid and totally senseless posts of Polish 10 year-old kids, which very often consist of insults and swear words.
You could say: "you don't have to read that stuff". Yes, but it catches the eye, especially when waiting for the jump and people are reluctant to press "Ready" button.
I am not interested in chatting with anybody, I just want to play and I think there are more people who would said that.

Just simple option - "CHAT ON/OFF", PLAESE.

seconded!

Even to i sometimes chat, it would be really nice to have the chat optional.
Could be done with a simple "join chat" and "leave chat" buttons to make it easy.

Would you still like to see the system messages even if the chat was disabled?

Its nice to have those announcements about tournaments about to start so you don't have to concentrate on the clock while warming up for the tournament. But for me it is not necessary to see them.

I would like this. But then it has to show somehow if you have chosen to turn off the chat. Otherwice people will start feeling insulted when you don't anwer them. (I've seen attempts to kick someone just for not saying "thx" when their name is written as a tribute for reaching podium... )

I agree.
Or we could have a next option: "system msgs ON/OFF" but as for me, it is really not necessary

Maybe just a symbol next to the names of players who have the chat disabled ? crossed 'C' letter ?

This option will be available in v1.1.
