Is there a way to mute someone in chat?

I know that you can mute people using the ingame voicechat, but unfortunately that doesn't apply to ingame text chat. It kind of defeats the purpose of muting somebody, if they can just spam vile garbage towards you in teamchat...

Your best bet is simply not reading it AFAIK. I've never seen a game where you could 'mute' the text chat.

Edit: You're right Generic.

Assuming you mean 'never seen in a FPS game', in TF2 if you mute someone it also blocks all text.
There are plenty of other genres where blocking text chat is standard (MMOs, for one).

No, not Xao. Was playing on some public servers and ran into people that felt like they absolutely must proclaim their desire to jack off due to my voice.

I don't think that the forums condone call-outs, else I would call them out...

Would be a feature that most of the community would appreciate.

+1 for text mute. I was in Keep Calm and Belly Slide server with Generic once, I quit and vowed never to return. (Shitty server admins not admin'ing)

man I been asking for this feature since NS1 days, it just never happened. World of Warcraft has this, when you put someone on ignore, it blocks all incoming messages.

Sv_mute [in game id] was planned to mute both text and voice. Idk what happened to that one though

didn't happen, working as intended

This change seems like a no brainer. I don't think I would use it, but a mute should work on all communication, other wise whats the point.

It's worse at lower resolutions because the trolling is directly centered on my screen. My self-esteems
