I'm not sure about completely disabling it, but you can go into "Message Log" on the top of the screen and mute specific people's text. I've used that several times for those idiots that won't let up on their IQ-dropping spams.

You're right partially, there should be an option to disable chat ingame.

Raging and smashing things for what 14 year olds say is kinda 15ish.

The best solution would be to let go and not care, why would anything a guy that you'll probably never meet says bother you that much?
Not enough energy

That's a bit of a worthless comment. It's not really possible to 'not read' text when it appears on screen. It's a valid question and I'm sure there's plenty of people who would like to enable this option if it existed, there's no need to attempt to belittle him for it.

Your problem handling skill. If you cant just ignore "by hardware" (means in your head) than you act like a child. Grow up and dont give a sht about what anonymous people throw at you in a video game.

Considering that in-game chat actually helps you to know if your opponent is cheesing you or not, I wouldn't suggest turning it off (if it's possible). When someone start blabber about useless stuff and ask stupid questions about you and your shoes you can assume he's cheesing 9/10. Something to consider!

Just do what everybody did in BW and stick a piece of duct tape there.

i cant understand how some people dont understand this, why would you EVER want the ability to read what most likely is something totaly worthless?

i would bet everything i own, you wont miss anything important by turning it off

I usually just don't respond. Lately I've been getting BM'd a ton at the end of games but the highest road you can take is simply not to say a word.

Poke you so cute

why's poke trying to belittle anyone? the guy brings age into it then says he's going to smash something like a toddler

Why not just ask whoever is bothering you could they please stop because your trying to concentrate usually works for me and if not block them.

God forbid asking a simple question and getting Dr. Phil'd and getting called a child by Pokebunny of all people

Everyone jumps down the guys throat for simply asking a question, no need to be an assclown about it. Topic is just a mere proof of why a option to turn chat off is needed
