Is there a feature (aside from blocking everyone) to not have chat text appear? I am not really interested in speaking with people in local or alliance chats. It would be great to have the window open to see who is in local without having to block every nitwit who speaks.

There's the power of imagination.
Other than that, block is your best option.

Drag the chat window so that the part you don't want to see is off-screen?

You can manipulate the window so that chat text is only 1 character wide per line. You'll see that something is there but it's hard to read unless you make a conscious effort |

Why don't you.. I dunno, minimize or hide them? Local you only need to show the local list, alliance you don't seem to need at all. |

Sounds like you are all primed to play by yourself. If you dont need chat channels, why be in an alliance? EVE is a social game, you cant cherry pick what you like about it (security in numbers), without the "negatives" (altho having a chat channel open is not really a negative).
Other then that, blink off on corp and alliance windows, have local open only, and hide the chat pannel itself behind another UI element.
EDIT - for the record, relying on Local as your security makes you a gigantic WIMP, just another carebear. try playing in wormholes, where the real men go and where real pew happens. |

Just resize local so it's tall and narrow and you can see who is in system without the chat taking up space. |

Wow. If turning blink off and minimize chat is already this hard...I think EVE is doomed.

Drag the window off screen, a vital tool if you are around CODE infested systems. although it would be nice if the game remembered that on restart. |

I would do as others suggestd in turning off the blinks. But what I would do is just squeeze the actual chat text box really thin and make the avatars/pictures of people in local larger. So you see the faces names of people in local but don't see any of the chat except a tiny sliver I guess |

Put local on the right side, spanning top to bottom. Layer Overview UI on top of the chat part of Local. Use other UI's as desired to complete the blocking. Done. Have had it this way for years.

I placed my local on the left side, like a vertical bar. If you shrink it horizontally as far it will go, then turn off all portraits, it will effectively become a list of players. The player list has priority over the text space in resizing to it effectively hides all text. |

I think it is interesting that there are so many people here who have found a work around to this. Maybe CCP should introduce a new feature to remove/block all chats but just leave player list.
I know I would undock more if I didnt have to worry about people bothering me with annoying chats |
