HideRating

A World of Warcraft (retail) addon that keeps PvP ratings out of sight, with two optional extras for cutting noise mid-session.

Options

• Hide PvP ratings — masks ratings in the PvP window (all five rated brackets, plus the tier icons and bracket tooltips), on inspected players, in the battleground/arena scoreboard columns, the "average rating" footer, and the post-match rating-change summary. Rating column headers also stop accepting clicks, since sorting by a hidden column still leaks the order.
• Only show whispers from friends — whispers from anyone who is not a character friend or Battle.net friend are dropped. A sub-option keeps guildmates and current party/raid members audible.
• Hide chat windows — hides the chat frames, tabs and chat buttons. The edit box is reparented to UIParent while hidden, so typing and slash commands still work normally. A sub-option limits this to arenas and battlegrounds.

A Show Ratings / Hide Ratings button sits in the bottom-left of the PvP window for when you do want a look, and it drives the same setting as the options panel and slash command.

Masking is one-directional by design: the addon writes over rating text but never reads it back, because since 12.0 the scoreboard's values are secret and inspecting one from an addon raises an error. Turning hiding off asks the game to redraw the affected frame instead, so the real numbers come back from the source.

No reload is needed to toggle any of it.
