If someone starts to spam in game chat with flaming massages, spaming or you simply dont wana see someones else chat you use command !ignore [nickname] and the problem is solved, everybody is happy.

Can something similar be added to the bot commands/ command from host like (!rmk, !from, !votekick player etc.). Currently there is no way to ignore these massages because they pop up on screen for everyone in game no matter what.

I recently had a game with the player who wanted to quit and was starting votekick for himself !votekick [nickname] for every 2 minutes of a 60 minutes long game in hopes he will annoy players enough that they will kick him. I find this pop up msg annoying but the official policy is that this is not spam. I can respect official stand on this but if i find those pop up massages annoying why shouldn't i be able to ignore them just like i can ignore certain player chat while in game?

What does community think about this?

This is bad idea. I understand it is annoying. I didn't read whole What is considered spam? topic but if any1 would do this whole game I would consider it as spam probably.
But how often this happen? For me it is quite rare.
You would need to make more commands, like !ignorermk, !ignorevotekick and so on, if you would ignore all these messages, well, you wouldn't know what's going on at all. There's votekick? You won't vote. There's rmk for some reason? You won't vote. Did enemy forfeit? You won't know. Some1 left, is autoban on? You won't know...

How about ignore commands started by only 1 certain player? If someone is abusing the commands you just ignore the ones coming from that player. All others could be displayed.

This bot command abuse happens fairly often. Maybe not as extreme as the one i saw last time but when someone is mad about something he will start to do this kind of thing.

But i can understand if its to complicated to do this...  :-\
