Turn off pop-up messages

[racal_]

Hi, as there is no such option in profile prefferences menu, anyone knows about any hidden way to turn off receiving messages like "gg" pop-ing up after almost every game? It's such a disturbing part of BGA as Im not interested in receiving messsages and pop-ups notifications from strangers.

To each their own, but if you sat down at a table to play a game, would it upset you if I said "hi"?

As you may know the chat has some pre-written messages that players can send if they want to enquire about certain things. I’m not sure it would be desirable if players were totally cut off from any possibility of communication. When you play games online with strangers you are by nature putting yourself in a social situation.

I’m not saying anything about cutting anybody from anything. I just would like to have an option to turn off pop-up messages as it disturbes and I’m not interested in clicking on them and manualy discard those.

edit: IMPROVEMENT IDEA if it would be a premium functionality, i’m in year subscripton right ahead.

Those pop-up messages are people writing things to you. If you can’t see it that’s essentially cutting off communication with you.

Options are fine as long as they don’t affect other people’s experience. Since your suggestion affects people’s ability to reach out to you, there’s a discussion to be had about whether this is a good idea.

Right now it’s my voluntary option to open pop-up bubble to see the message as they are not automaticaly shown. It is’nt, and I think as well it should not be obligatory to do so. Have to be said that there is undisputable coercion to do so as the pop-up icons are blocking decent ammount of screen space on mobile device.

Experience of senders is absolutely not affected as the outcome would be 100% same as it’s the current state when the pop-up coercion is not compulsory to be opened, right?
