[hanabi] an option to turn off the chat

[etarip]

Hi !
My suggestions is an option for the owner of the table to turn of the chat during the game.

Why the chat should be turn off?, it's something about the "cheat"?... if it's about this, the ELO it's just for a number, Hanabi hasn't a rank in BGA.

the problem with cheat is not the impact about the rank (which is indeed desactivated) or any elo issue. The problem is that game pleasure is slaughtered ...

So yes, turn the chat off seems a great idea, it prevents cheat AND useless angry comments about mistakes done during the game.

On the other hand, it avoids help/teach for the beginners, so it's not perfect .

Exactly, I don't speak english fluently so it s difficult to explain but it s for that I suggest this. It could be an option, with or without chat. like that if you want to talk or to comment the game, you can.
And the chat could be turn off only during the game, before the game (before everyone press start) and after the end the chat could be turn on.
