Way to toggle Chatbox / Remove Chat Fade?

[Why Watt]

Would be a nice feature to be able to toggle chat visibility. Something that's quick and easy QoL to implement.

Here's my main reasoning as to why I'd personally appreciate it: when I'm in the moment, whether it's nightfall and predators are creeping around, I'm trying to hunt or just wanting to appreciate the view, it's routinely interrupted with the greyish-white chatbox popping up. It isn't even just the issue of the chatbox; it's how it fades for all of two seconds and pops back up. It wouldn't be such a bother if it remained there and didn't draw your eyes (and IK that's the main purpose of a chatbox - HEY SOMEONE SAID SMTH - but when 100 people are saying something in global it's kinda unecessary). Perhaps a simple cooldown to how often it pops up, or being able to adjust how long the chatbox remains visible after a message? Any of those would work wonders.

You'd think with all of the other QoL features for the HUD, be it the changing of what elements you see, what events pop up on screen, etc, that this feature would be an easy one to implement. I've seen many people bring it up before at least in my time in-game.

We've all had those moments on servers where it's just watching people argue and the chat pops up constantly. Having a button you can press to tune it out would be lovely.

And before you ask I've tried a silly amount of ways to attempt to circumvent; swap to combat log w/ everything disabled, except, despite having all my settings as "Never" & "No Destination" I still get pings about every single time I lose hunger so it doesn't work. It also goes over the HUD so even moving my hunger, stamina, action pts, health, etc, above it does not stop it from popping up.

Though this might get in the way of server moderation, it could be set up to where the messages of server moderators would always appear? So on a private server if you are being addressed you'd still see the messages aimed at you? Same think for the direct messages ig.

Thanks in advance for your time spent reading and consideration of a simple feature that would massively improve my enjoyment of the game.

I was also hoping for said feature and hope the devs see your post.
