Since EoF and especially in the last week, I've seen a LOT more people typing abusing, harrasing, and demeening things in the game chat. Reporting either does nothing, or doesn't carry enough of a punishment to curb the behavior.
No new player wants to get these messages when they are trying the game out, and as a 10+ year veteran, I don't want to see that garbage either. **Not being able to clear the chat history makes the issue worse, because I have to see these messages every time I open the menu until I reset the game.** Even blocking the perpetrator doesn't remove the messages from the feed.
**edit** I've learned the "/clear" will clear the chat. So this issue isn't quite as persistent as I thought. Other points remain valid.

I disable chat in my settings.
