suppressing Local chat
I'm new and not sure if this has been talked about, but I think it would be a great idea to be able to suppress local chat when required
From time to time we all have to enter a trading hub and the garbage in local at times is just crazy. Yes you can use the very useful block button but the amount of spam scams and just unnecessary vulgar is ridiculous at times, so ccp to reduce support ticket why not introduce a local chat suppress button.
Local inhabitants is needed while moving in hi sec for gankers war decs BUT local chat is not required all the time, specially in trade-hubs.
Well that's the idea I'd like to see. Because somethings seen can't be unseen |

You can decrease the chat area down to about 2 characters wide, which makes actually reading that crap really difficult.
Alternatly, you can just ignore it, like most everyone else does. You can even minimize local when in Jita.
Or, you can do what I do and block literally every single character that say anythjng at all in Jita local. Really cuts down on the spam.
Point is, there are already way to reduce or remove Jita spam. Try those.
EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.
I couldn't have said it better.

Its simple code to suppress local chat - not like your doing it or even paying to do it.
CCP Support team would have less to deal with without the flow of tickets generated by offensive local garbage.
So why would you be against this? unless you enjoy generating the garbage in the first place.
Closing local in not an option, specially in a trade hub - Gankers - War Targets Blocking every local is just stupid and ignorant on your part.
I do like the idea of moving the chat window to limit the garbage as a half measure while CCP consider a suppression button.
I have no problem ignoring the idiots in local, but as I said somethings seen can not be unseen, and as this game is targeting more and more youth, I for one wouldn't like kids seeing some of the crap local generates, hence at times ccp GM's work load can be reduced with a very simple button.

Just ignore the people spamming if you feel like you HAVE to have local chat open.
This idea has the bad possibility of backfiring, I could just see it now, "Why can't I talk in corp/fleet/random chat room??" ->New dev post saying that there is a bug with the chat that is causing the "suppression" code to effect things outside the original scope. |

I have my local chat window set so that I cannot see anything typed in it, but I can still see which characters are in local with me.

Your idea would likely have little to no real impact on the amount of petitions the GMs handle on a daily basis. Unless it was put into use by a large majority of the player base, people will still see offensive material in local, people will still get offended, and people will still petition their hurt feelings.
2. The current use of local as an intelligence tool was never the intended purpose of the channel. It was intended, as all chat channels in all games are, as a way to communicate with other players. If you do not want to communicate with others at that level, there are already methods available to you to mitigate this.
3. Simply because I think wasting Dev resources on an idea that is simply nothing more than your unwillingness to use the currently established and accepted methods to restrict what you see in local, does not, in any way, mean that I participate in putting offensive material in local. I have quite an extensive vocabulary, I enjoy using said vocabulary, and I derive great pleasure in sending people looking for their dictionaries to look up whether or not they've just been insulted. While I have the ability to cuss a blue streak when appropriate, my mother taught me that public venues are not the appropriate places to do so.
4. If you go into a trade hub with active wars ongoing, you deserve to lose your ship, local or no local. A simple trade alt will make that danger, and having to watch local for war targets, totally unnecessary.
5. Blocking everyone in local on a character that doesn't ever talk to anyone outside my corp is wise and intelligently restricting the amount of garbage I have to deal with in local. Every time I log her on, I add 6-10 new contacts to her block list, and local is nice a quiet again.
6. With the various methods currently available for you to not see what's typed in local, there is no need at all for some inane suppression button. You simply need to use the established methods.
7. It says right in the launcher that the online portion of EvE is not rated by the ESRB. You acknowledge this fact when you agreed to the TOS/EULA. If you don't want to risk seeing something that offends you, don't log on. CCP already has rules in place on what acceptable content in the public areas are, and will punish those who repeatedly or grossly violate those rules. That said, they cannot, and should not, monitor all communications in the game and censor them to your liking.
8. Oh look, you brought out the "think of the children" farce. Seriously, as someone who deals with the public and children on a daily basis, there is very little kids would encounter in the public channels here that they don't already know about.
9. If you're so easily offended that a little profanity, or even a lot of profanity as I've seen coming from some people who just got ganked, then perhaps you should go find a more kid friendly game that has profanity filters on all their channels. I hear Hello Kitty Online is a good place for that.
EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid.

So due to your extensive vocabulary which you seem hell bent on telling eve, kudos to you. Actually most war decers are lazy and very easy to evade, if you know whats in local. But by all means use your many alts and cower in the corner of your universe.
Think of the children - well all I can say is "figures"
So you now resort the belittling and insulting because other people dare to post ideas worth viewing or considering, You sir are nothing more then faeces on my boot worthy of wiping on the first grassy verge I encounter.
As most of your objections in this forum seem hostile towards others, you become a point why people like you should infact be blocked and why a local chat suppression button can be useful. If you can't make a point without resorting to anti social behavior and insults, I suggest it be you that finds a more suitable game, I might suggest a Russian based turn game.
But please feel free to respond as intelligent and phraseology as you are able.

If this is your response to Iain's quite factual and informative reply, then I have a feeling no amount of changes would help you. You seem hell bent on taking offence, even if it means inventing one where none exist.
I'm offended by your need to be offended. There, now we are equal.

Not true! It's just that some interactions are best accomplished via Federation Navy Antimatter L or Republic Fleet EMP L, while others actually involve looking in the local chat channel.
For me, local chat is something I never want to see unless it is to type "gf" or "o/."
