That's right, you heard me, moot! Moot moot moot moot moot moot moot! (try it, it's fun).

Why? Because it is trivial to create object that listens to you on channel 0 and repeats whatever you say, also on channel 0. Someone that has you muted can still hear the object.

So, my Feature Request is one or both of the following.
a) If you mute a person, all objects owned by them should also be muted.
b) The ability to mute an object.

ooooo I like this idea!

I think its a high posibility that if you have a person that is a known bother chances are their objects could be too.

I think its needed too, thanks!

My only concern is I don't want someone to be able to bypass my security measures by putting me on ignore.

But replaces all textures with generic ones for someone on mute would be nice. :)

it just stops updates on their screen
(guess i should haven't said scripts in general)
anything they can see or hear would not happen
security would still work
