it was never designed for that

To avoid this we decided to hide the job emote as well as the chat log text when the filter is on. We understand that you may not want to use the job emotes in rapid succession, or various emotes in a row, when they're constantly displayed in the log. However, we implemented the current specifications after careful consideration and don't have any plans on changing it.
