I was prepared to allow one exemption to my punititive measure, and you just took it :)

My beef is more to do with being in a club or wherever, and the chorus of cretinous howling and whooping overshadows the music to a ludicrous extent.


QFT!

My personal list of top most annoying gestures:

*Maniacal laughter - heard on IoW a lot by hatchlings (I have a hatchling so I'm not anti-hatchlings or tinies...just this stupid laugh)

*Fart

*"There's my Sissy"

*The belly-laugh gesture - it's indicated as a regular female "laugh" but I have yet to see a woman in RL laugh quite like that

*Howlz, Hoo - anything in that genre


There's more that are slipping my mind atm.

Went to a great live music venue the other night. By the end of the hour gig, I think I had muted about half the people present due to the annoying sound spam.

#1 Rule I use: Never more than 2 sound gestures within 10-15 minutes.

Most of mine are for adding something than the usual "LOL".

I have my own "howlz", not as loud as the usual. In fact, I keep most of my sounds lower in volume so as not to be annoying. Altho the Godzilla ones are meant to be loud. ;)

#2 Rule: No ASCII Text Gestures!!!! Funny once ina while, but over done & makes conversation a chore.

Only long song gesture I have (if I still use it) is the Thermos Song from the movie "The Jerk". Just cuz I loved the movie & that is the 1st movie I and my Fiancee watched together- and LOL'd alot. :D

HEH! I was there maybe twice. Call it "Club Noob". Good Tunes, but too noob-ish for my taste.

Simple conversation, yes. Going on and on and carrying on long conversations back and forth about how much they love each other is something altogether different. This shouldn't be in public chat. A line or two is ok, but keep long romantic novelas private where they belong.

If there is a large enough crowd, and I catch a couple.... I like to add commentary from 20M away to see if they're really paying attention. (^_^)y

Man, I hear you. I was enjoying a wonderful evening at a formal dance place, using IM with my dance partner. It was a chore not to be distracted by the couple dancing next to us. The submissive female was declaring her slave-hood (or whatever you call it) to the dominant female (not guessing here, their titles were part of this particular narrative, besides the fact that one of them was chained - did I mention this was a very romantic formal dance club?). Their semi-explicit conversation and /me's were so clumsy that I was embarrassed for both of them. I would have preferred if they just howled.

The hilarious part ensued when, after someone else mentioned the club's decor, one of the ladies suggested to the other that they should leave to go to some place that was less noisy!

Are people really that oblivious?


THAT made me cry :p ROFL.

Would be nice if LL ever sorts every other 100th bug that they implement a general "mute local" for occasions like that. I hope it wasn't at the Titanic...I love that dance club..very classy ;)

I don't use any of them exept for a couple in RP. When they get to be too much in a club it does get annoying, but depending on the venue it can be expected. I just try to ignore them.

Something that flings the perpetrator 6 sims sideways would be perfect, I often think


Being able to electrocute the perpetrators?

Too much? Am I being unsympathetic?

How about the non ascii gestures that are just sound? Is there any way to see who is doing it?

View >> Beacons >> Sound Sources. Then check Beacons always on. Easy way to locate sound spammers for muting pleasure.
