Yes. For each of the 5 default modes, you have a dozen of so
"channels" ranging from local talk to emotes, and so on. Each of
these can be turned on or off for that panel; the default is what
the panels start preconfigured in when you start your character.
The problem being, of course, that 90% of the people don't even
notice that they're no longer receiving sends. Yesterday evening, I
was trying to meet somebody in Camelot, and it was extremely
frustrating.
/send Hello?
/send Do you hear me?
/send Hello?
Soandso sends you "hello?"
/send Ahhh, ok, so where do we meet?
Soandso sends you "hello? you there?"
/send Goddamit, switch chat panels!!!!
Soandso sends you "hello?"
At that point, I picked up the phone :)
