Often there is tension between those kibs who prefer chat limited to bridge discussions, and those who engage in, um, "social" chat. You can enemy individuals so their chatter will be hidden, and you can opt not to see any chat, but you cannot choose to view just bridge chat.

Would it be possible to do something like this: You could opt to see just "bridge chat". To identify "bridge chat", kibs would start typing with, say, the "@" symbol (or whatever). A BBO text-parser would look for that whatever, and show only those chats to those who opted for "bridge only", hiding the "social chat".

Maybe BBO and Chat Assistant would include an option "all my comments are bridge related", and the symbol be auto-included.

People can't even figure out how to only talk to kibs (and not to table), you really think they can handle this?
