Summary0001400: Block spectators talk.
DescriptionI think it'd be a good idea to have a command in game (like f8) but that only blocks (so you can't hear it) spectators talk, this'd be good for ctf when it can get pretty annoying and team messages are important.

Perhaps the correct way to do this would be to add new message log levels - chat and team chat, in that order before critical? Then you could filter messages that are below team chat using the msglevel cvar and get only team chat and important messages.

Turned out the message levels already exist for chat and team chat and the filter can already be configured to only show team messages - in 1.1 - by setting the 'msg' cvar to 4, so in this case it's just a matter of adding a menu option.

However:
- the sound is still played even if the message gets filtered, though this is a simple fix.
- the chat levels are above critical, thus a very big lot of important messages get filtered and the console does not respond if the filter is set to chat/team chat. Would it make sense to drop the chat and team chat messages to below critical?

This is what I have right now:'http://pastebin.com/vuS3gsZ6 [^]'
