To alter your chat logs, go to Menu -> Character Configuration -> Log Window Settings (at the very bottom) -> Log Filters (also at the very bottom.) These four logs numbered 1 through 4 are your respective chats, the first three should be, “General”, “Battle”, and “Event”, with the 4th being a optional one for anything you want.

You can edit these logs by clicking on them, and customize them to your liking with what you want to show in them, for example, you could filter out the NN from the first three but make a specific chat dedicated to the NN in the 4th slot. You can also alter the size of the log window by clicking on the top right of it and dragging your cursor.
The only issue I've had is being stuck with NN as a forced default. I'm used to the WoW chat system where the channel you are typing to is part of the field you type in. I've mistakenly typed in NN numerous times on my custom chat log thinking I'm typing only to my filtered group. I don't realize my error until I hit Enter, and by then it's too late. I know I'm not the only one because I see people having one way conversations in NN all the time. It's funny, but it's also not.
