    Add chat filters, so you can turn things off like general alerts, or enemies defeated or point earned, etc.

    Personally I would only need these messages:
    -Earned point for destroying building
    -Research complete (current research should be always visible)
    -rtv or commander kick vote
    -Earned point for killing enemy (not that important)
    -Player joined/left (not that important)

    Absolutely not needed:
    -Someone needs something (medic, ammo, repair)
    -One point for reviving an enemy
    -Vehicle design accepted. Commencing vehicle construction.
    -Current map/Next map
    -Server messages like visit our ... server
    -Something spotted
    -I need arty fire/infantry support/... on my target/location/...
    -Roger that (and other f-menu commands)
    -From commander: Attack these targets/Move to this location/...
    -Player has reached destination
    -Something under attack (commander only)
    -Something killed/destroyed (commander only)
    -(Commander): Player has done something (commander only)

    If nobody needs these messages, then we don't need a filter. Just turn them off.

    I've said it before and I say it again: These should just moved to the right part of the commander screen, in his own little private box for only those messages.

    These are the most annoying as commander. Sometimes I have to look at console just to see what someone said in chat because their message was immediately replaced by 10,000 under attack, player killed, building destroyed spam.

    Wasn't there a suggestion, that you can revive enemies to zombies?

    A kingdom for an option to filter spectator chat!
