The format of this guide is simple. First, I'll list the chat filters followed by a brief description and I'll include examples for some of the more complicated ones.
*Filters with (H) can be set to Hold. When placed on Hold, the text is "held" at the top of the chatlog for 5 seconds. This can help reduce messages lost because of battle spam.
*For examples I'll use the following distinctions: For you, I'll use "Bob"; for your party, I'll use "PartyMember"; for members of an alliance you are in, I'll use "AllianceMember"; for characters in a party near you but not in your party or alliance, I'll use "OtherPlayer."
*Remember: Turning a filter "On" means you will no longer see the log messages for that effect. Leaving a filter "Off" means you WILL see the log messages. All filters are "Off" by default.
1. Say(H)
2. Shout(H)
3. Tell(H)
4. Party(H)
5. Linkshell(H)
6. Emotes(H)
1-6 are self explanatory. All can be put on Hold and all but Party and Linkshell can be turned On. The only way to filter out Party or Linkshell chat is to disband from the party or unequip your linkpearl.

**Note: I did some testing on this and as far as I can tell, NPCs includes mobs not currently engaged by you or your party but does include mobs engaged by an alliance you're in when one of the other two parties has "control" of the mob. It also seems to include BST pets. (no confirmation on DRGs' wyverns, although I think they fall under whatever category the DRG is in)***

You cannot filter recurring status effect messages such as "Bob is paralyzed." or "The Chamber Beetle is paralyzed." (you can filter the initial effect as stated above, but not the messages when the effect actually kicks in)
For WHMs - The biggest favor you can do yourself is turn filters 27a, 27b, 32a and 32b ON. Especially useful in places like Labyrinth of Onzozo where Toramas spam Paralyze and Silence. Turning these filters on will keep you from seeing an adjacent party's Torama readying/executing their special enfeebling moves. This way, any time you see "The Torama readies Chaotic Eye" you can be ready with Silena knowing that it's your party's Torama and not another party's.
For RDMs - Same filters for WHM apply for RDM but for different reasons. With 27a/b and 32a/b turned ON, the only mob buffs you'll ever see are your party's. You'll never waste mp on a Dispel because you thought your pugil used Water Shield when it was really the other party's pugil. Also, you won't see other RDMs in the area debuffing. I changed my font colors so that different things stick out more...mainly "Detrimental effects others receive" and "Effects others resist" I changed these so I would see my sticks and resists better, but it also changes others' sticks and resists. With the right filters on, mine are all I see.
~As WHM I used to filter out "Damage taken by party members" because I could just look over at the HP bars. I found with some experimenting that this isn't the best way to go however. With party damage filtered, you can't tell who got hit by crawlers' Poison Breath for example. Also, you don't see who the goblin cast BioIII on. I wasted more time staring at HP bars trying to figure out who was slowly dying and missed Regen/Haste wearing off in the meantime.
~Another important note: Remember if you're a healer in Dynamis you need to have 17a/b and 27a/b turned OFF. Skillchainers also need 17a/b and 27a/b OFF and stunners need to have 32a/b OFF.
