Muting jerks & objects - Second Life Video TuTORial QUICKTIP

[LionGoddess1]

i hate 2.6.9 HATE it.. cause it doesn't allow profile muting or blocking and no key to bring up the mute list at least no one knows it.. I really wish they'd give us a bloody keymap.

Using the new SL Viewer, how can I mute the sounds of an object, if it's so small that I can't select it?

lol Torley doesnt have to worry about muting people because they would suck his D*** if they saw him 8D

Muteing is a bad idea it just makes people mad and causes more problems

Fair warning:

In case it didn't change again recently, muting an object like a notecard giver, that gives content whenever you show up in a shop for example, doesn't mute just the object but the owner as a whole so careful with that!

I've muted such a greeter object and later ..my purchase didn't arrive because it had muted the shop owner too.

I'd welcome it if a muted object and a muted resident would be separate again so that it's useful in such situation to just shut up one item of someone.

Now I wonder if that only happens when using the Mute-button of the transfer dialog or if it mutes the owner as well when I add the object manually to the list through the "Mute object by name..." option.

I had used the mute button on the dialog popup I think when it gave me the notecard yet another time. Maybe manual object mute is a work-around. I'd have to try that.

Anyhow be careful about what and who you mute so that you don't end up causing shopping trouble for yourself and the vendor.

Muting is handy for rude or abusive avs. It's also very handy for people who don't realize that constant use of bad sound clips or gestures that take up many chat lines are often annoying. A must see video for anyone new to SL!
