I know that you can squelch your opponent when you first meet them but is there any way that you can set the game up to auto-squelch?
Answer
No, there is no such thing built-in Hearthstone itself, and the Blizzard team is somewhat against the idea: (source)
Auto-squelch is something that’s been discussed by the Hearthstone
team before, but it’s not something we’re comfortable with. What would
likely happen were auto-squelch implemented is that players would
enable it after a single incident, and that would be it. They would
never reactivate emotes, and as more players did it over time, emotes
would largely be devalued.Squelch exists as it does now as a means to ignore someone being
particularly vocal. If someone is just spamming ‘thanks’ over and
over, you have a means to deal with it, and bypass perceived rude
behavior. You absolutely have the option to squelch every single
opponent you play, and we’re comfortable with that. We simply don’t
want to give players the option to forever disable emotes with the
click of a single button.There’s a lot of feedback on this particular issue, and it’s something
we’re constantly evaluating, but that’s where we are as a team,
presently.
There are however some third-party plugins that do this. For example this one. However, this is against the ToS of Blizzard, because what this does is click the Squelch button automatically. You cannot do that with pen and paper.
