Why do you want limited chat? That's lame.

once again, It is better than no chat at all.

Btw @BabYagun has already proposed a quasi-chat (as he named it) some time ago, and even provided a (humorous) list of phrases.

Guys, my idea is that chat is a weapon and part of the game...have you ever played a strategical game with more (no 1 vs 1) friends and kept silence all the game long? I think it is fair to have the possibility to influence other's player moves by promising, making agreements...ecc. ecc.
1) the list does not make much sense to me, I want the chat to talk about the game, not about the weather
2) I can understand it's also a right of the individual not to read something he does not like (insults and similar), so I the individual block chat seems fair to me (maybe one should be able to disable chat only for himself without the other guys getting a notification, so they can't talk as the guy was not there); but I do not see at all how is it right to block the chat also for the others players... it really kind of annoys me. And yes, I will use the chat to say things like "let's all attack blue", "you have better winning chances if you go after yellow"... ecc.
