I hate specchat in 1v1 and especially in FFA. Why isn't there an option to disable specchat?

So I have to do it locally?
What if I want to prevent specchat from being seen by any player who are alive ingame?

so many things could be improved with spec-player interaction. this is just another issue beside the vote-ability of specs regarding game-influence...

evil @magman !

But even when they don't intend to speccheat they might accidentally write something in public chat or give away information by giving advice.
Many specs also like to say stuff like "gg" when they think that the winner is clear. Let players decide for themselves when the game is over. Specs can go and play on another host if they want to play now.

Sure most people behave nicely but when you go in a game and gives advice it changes the game. That should not be acceptable in a 1v1 and FFA unless the players have specifically agreed to spec chat.
