Summary

Right now the logging of chat channels is "all or nothing." You're either logging every single thing or you're logging nothing at all. It isn't very flexible considering there are sometimes you want to have a channel while other times you'd rather not, especially Local when you're in Jita.

Solution

Add a toggle for each chat channel where you can enable or disable logging. It could be done the same way you turn channel blinking on and off.

Pros

• It would potentially create less load on the client if user isn't logging everything because of the "all or nothing" state of logging now.
• There would be less bloat on user's hard drive in chatlog folder if especially "spammy" channels aren't being logged. Especially Jita local or anywhere a hostile Alliance (ahem) might be spamming local chat too.

Cons

• This change would require some coding time on the part of CCP.
