There are mods, just use the mute button. And if you get called a noob, then it means whoever says you are a noob is most likely a 50 50 chance to be one themself. As I said, the mute button. Use it.
Hover your cursor over the persons name in the name list. After around three seconds, a tab opens. you can follow, view profile, ect but pressing ‘mute’ prevents their chat to show on your screen.
