More than a year ago i was searching for a trade channel on Star Trek Online, and i joined the basic mmo style "/trade" channel. Since then i can see a trade channel but its from another game, Champions Online and i cant leave the channel, i can even speak with the players. The problem is that does not appear in the chat option and if i try to leave it i leave the other channels i have. I made a ticket , i was pointed to a bug report, i made one..mode than a year ago , and i can still see that channel.

These are some screens taken this year:

leaving certain chat channels has been a known issue for ages if I remember correctly.
However seeing chat from other cryptic games is perfectly normal as they all share the same chat server so this is normal.
Yeah i read somewhere about that, but it was available for subscribers or veterans and i'm neither, and i just cant get rid of it, it does not appear on the chat options either where you set the color for chat.
Oh wow, 2013 nice
To solve, download and install Champions Online (it's free), make a character, and then leave the channel from within that game.
It's a pain, but this will work. You can uninstall CO afterward if you like.
Holodeck ticket #2,581,777: Unable to leave "Team" channel
Unlike the "trade" channel, you cannot leave the "Team" channel from Champions Online; I already tried that.
The STO wiki also notes a similar problem with the "Global" channel.

Here are similar threads about the "trade" channel on the Neverwinter forums.
