How can a kibitzer turn off the chatting among other kibitzers at his table? For the old BBO it was easily done. But not the new BBO.
Thank you for your consideration for such a feature in the software.

Kibitzers cannot do that, but the table host can. It's the same option as in the windows version: "Allow kibitzers to chat with players". There's a checkbox next to this option. If it's checked, then kibbers can chat to the table. If it is not checked, kibbers cannot chat to the table.

If you don't want to see certain people talking while kibitzing, just bring up that person's profile, and make them an enemy.

A table host also has the option of preventing ALL kibitzer chat, that is disabling the 'Chat to Kibitzers' button/chat option, by putting the string +silentspecs+ in the table description.

However, unless your table has dozens of kibitzers and someone is complaining, you probably do not need this.
