Disable Chat Box

Description
Tired of being called a noob in public games? Don't want to know when your teammates need help? This addon is for you!

I've set the chat box height and width to "0" essentially hiding it.

As the chat box is still technically visible I recommend unbinding your "Y" and "U" keys as pressing these will still "activate" the chat box meaning any inputs / mouse movements will be sent to the invisible chat window instead of the game itself.

to unbind keys open console and type:
Unbind Y
Unbind U

To bring back the chat box simply unsubscribe from this addon then go to console and type the following to rebind your "Y" and "U" keys:
bind "Y" "messagemode"
bind "U" "messagemode2"

You may need to restart your game in order for changes to take effect.

Good, but I do want the chat and console events to be seen but not to see other people's messages, is it possible?

I tried this to hide chatbox, but it still shows up after restarting the game with enabled cfg options :(

You are a lifesaver. I was streaming this and someone doxxed me and spammed the N word. I passed it along to my friends too so we can enjoy thus game again

I still see the poison coming from the peoples minds and being put in to mine. They condition each other in to being toxic pieces of garbage.
