Ignore Button For Calling Cards Popup

i would like the popup you get when somebody offers their calling card to have an Ignore button just like the ones we make with llDialog(). sometimes you don't want to say yes or no but you just want it to go away and let you get on with your life. yeah i know that's completely lame but i still want it.

I'd love the person requesting a calling card to recieve a popup box saying "This person has calling cards turned off. Try IMing them to get it turned back on". I hate ppl trying to card me without even IMing me first.

Of course I realise some ppl might have carded me by mistake, as I have done to others sometimes, trying to read someone's profile that's on the edge of my screen, or in a lagged out club and I hit "exchange calling cards" instead of "Profile".

Maybe a solution would be a confirmation box after you hit "exchange calling cards", like "Do you wish to exchange calling cards with Xxxxx Xxxxxx?".

I've started to take a firm defensive stance against calling cards. In most situations, I simply decline unless I'm actually interested in talking with the person on a day-to-day basis... it's a lot easier to get card later than to delete the card and risk hurting feelings That said, there are definitely some situations where it's just not tactful to decline a card, even if you don't want it. The ability to get rid of the pop-up would be cool.

Also, I hate when I accidentally "miss" on the pie menu and exchange cards... I believe this is a bug, in that sometimes the mouse-button-down to bring the menu up and the mouse-button-up to finish that click are both registered as cilcks, automatically selecting the card button. One workaround to this is to always select menu options on people by holding the mouse button down, moving to profile, and lifting. If you get into this habit, you'll find you don't accidentally card people nearly as much.

I know what you mean about the buggy pie menu Lex... long ago I started HOLDING DOWN right-click until I am certain about the the selection I'm making... buggy thing

It's way too easy to accidentally click Trade Cards instead of Profile. I've found that holding down the mouse button seems to work, but, I think the only way to be sure is to go to Find and look up a person by name. Sort of crazy.

An Ignore button would be nice. Or, maybe a spot to put in an explanation (although, you can just type or IM it, I guess.) One way to put it would be "I'm not ready to make that decision yet."

So far, though, I haven't tended to decline cards. Eventually I will probably go through and cancel ones that aren't ever used.

An option to just turn off that capability for our avatars, and it just vanishes from the pie menu when someone right-clicks us.

I too would like an ignore button for situations when a calling card is offered, but I would prefer that it had not been offered. 'This person has calling cards turned off' is the perfect way to handle the situation.

I endorse the suggestion for the ignore button, and the further suggestion for having calling cards 'turn off-able' so the option to trade isnt available in the first place.

Option to turn off or on == yes

Option to turn off or on plus ignore button == no

Once again, my chestnut is cluttering up the interface. Either accept or decline. Or turn the damn thing off if you have an issue with calling cards.

but all the llDialog pop ups have an Ignore button automatically. this isn't clutter it's consistency.

I like the original suggestion, and Huns additional suggestion.

What if I want to just ignore one users calling card? But still allow others to potentialy trade with me? An ignore button can do this of course.

And if you know you never will want to have anyone initiate a card trade with you, then turn it off.

I don't think this would clutter up the interface that much, as Zuzi said, most dialogs have an ignore option anyway.

Of course if you click ignore, they'll eventualy figure out you did so. But still, options are fun to have.

speaking of that can somebody give you their card if you have them muted? also give you objects and money and rate you and have scripts talk to you and such or is it just limited to what they personally type?

I believe it is only limited to chat, also I've heard that the person can still IM you.

Muting kinda sucks right now. :|

wow that does suck if that's true. muting needs to block all communication. it would be nice if it made them invisible and all their objects and textures too and made it so you could walk thru them if they were in your way. and kept all their friends from talking to you and went to their house and destroyed them down to the dna level then burned the place and killed their family. well that first part at least.

hey Oz kinda off topic but did you used to have the forum av of the cartoon character beating its face against the ground? if that was you i miss it. it was cute.

In the other virtual world called "There" when you ignored someone it used to turn their avatar into a stick figure, they later took this out, but I thought it was a cool feature, it made sense since in a digital world you can both see the avatar and their text.

I think it would be neat if you had the option to do this in SL as well, maybe not nessisarily a stick figure, but perhaps a Ruth with "IM IGNORED" textured over them, or some other avatar, that you can toggle on/off. Why a toggle? Well in SL it would be easy for someone to make a "Oz Sucks!" shirt, if I have them ignored I can't view it, good, but what if I wanted to Abuse Report them for it? Or perhaps I didn't mind how their avatar looked so much, but their text annoyed me?

Also the option to hide their objects, sounds, etc. would be great as well.

So basicly you'd have it so you could selectively choose what to ignore from a user.

This would also come in handy if say, your neighbor put up some annoying build, you could ignore their objects (maybe they become slightly transparent so you don't run into them constantly), particles, etc. but not ignore the neighbor themself, since you don't really mind *them* as much as *their build*.

I never thought of doing this selectively, but Kex suggested it and it makes perfect sense.

Yes, I did have an avatar like that, I like to change my avatars (both on forum and in-world) from time to time, I get bored of them, lol. I made the image and the character is from this flash animation entitled "Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me": http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/bunny.php

Very awsome flash.

Sorry you miss it, if you'd like it I can post it and you can use it as your own, lol. I like your avatar too though, its cute!

awwwww thanks for the link Oz. now i want to sex up that poor bunny hehehe.

that stick figure idea's kinda cool. i dunno how we got onto the whole muting issue but as long as we're there i find the best way to mute someone is to just ignore them manually. as in don't pay attention to them and avoid them. that way you still know if they need reported for something like you were saying plus you don't have to run into stuff like friends saying "did you see that?" when you of course didn't see it cause it's muted. i guess that doesn't make alot of sense but that never stopped me.
