How to avoid letting IRC distract you
Use /set activity_hide_targets
If you don't want to see window activity in some certain channels or queries, list them here. For example
#boringchannel =bot1 =bot2
. If any highlighted text or message for you appears in that window, this setting is ignored and the activity is shown. -- http://irssi.org/beginner/

/set activity_hide_targets
Update your activity_hide_targets setting

Add an ignore rule
