Now that you mention it, I do remember an option like that. Never
thought to isolate that channel in its own window. I'll give that a try
next time it turns chatty.

Multiple windows for chat is a great way to separate the wheat from
the chaff (so to speak).

I have 4 separate panes with chat;

* Guild chat
* Party/raid/emote/say
* Combat
* General , yell, lfg, trade, system,

It takes up more screen space, but it means the guild chat and all the
general stuff doesn't get in the way of the current party chat.
Also, these don't have to be separate windows; they can be tabs on
the main chat window. I make the backgrounds completely transparent,
too, so when there's no activity in a window for a while and the text
fade out, the window is totally invisible.

Separating it on another channel might make it usable. As it was, all
combined together, it was just meaningless chatter that caused the
necesary discussions to scroll off.

Now that I think of it, I could also customize my battle tab to have it
include the 'party' and 'say' channels, but not the others. That would
probably work too.
