How about if admin could configure during races only cars on track can use chat? (or even opposite, dunno why, but why not). In some race events there is a rule that spectators should not chat. So far this has not been possible to configure into the game.

Then someone asks: what if after crash driver specs, and he is not able to say sorry or something, because he cannot anymore chat after spec. Maybe there could be a max number of words/characters a spectator can use in chat, to overcome that kind of issue? Or driver could chat N-seconds after spec?

I know this is not top priority suggestion, but I think this could be very easy and fast to implement. I searched old messages if there is similar suggestion, but didn't find one exactly like this.

We can see who's on track with insim, and warn/kick/ban if they chat when they shouldn't. Mute would be friendlier I guess

The chat messages can be distracting while in race, but I don't find it hard to block chat messages by clicking 2 times Num"-" (if I'm not mistaken, as last time I raced was a long while ago). Yes, you can miss some messages from event organizers but for that they should always use /msg function so everyone can see their messages.

It's actually single press of minus sign to block chat messages. Or Shift+minus to block all messages (not just chat but also all joining/spectating/admin messages via /msg and also insim messages).

I think you missed my point, but nevermind.
