How to hide chat messages?

[mrbeaver2K]

Is there a way to
A: Keep chat messages sent by players to stay on one plot, rather than being sent to the entire node
B: Force players to use @ to chat
without Overlord?

A: There currently isn't a way to do this with code, but you could tell players to run the command /c l when they join. This will set their chat mode to local which, like you wanted, will only display messages from players on the plot they are on (and if you send a message only players on their plot will see it). I have heard something about a code block to force someone into a chat mode, even if that is going to be added it hasn't been added yet.
B: Without Overlord this sadly isn't possible because you can only set a player's chat style with Overlord and commands are also Overlord exclusive.
